Executive summary
Current state
The GAO audit reveals a $3 trillion improper payment ecosystem with five major federal agencies lacking documented policies for timely reporting despite OMB's oversight authority, creating a compliance void where OMB has the mandate but lacks enforcement power over entrenched institutional autonomy.
Market catalyst
Recovery audit firms lack systematic intelligence on which programs, contractors, and payment patterns yield highest recovery rates. GAO data identifies high-error programs but doesn't map to specific recoverable targets.
