Executive summary
Current state
GAO audit reveals seven federal agencies with programs reporting 10%+ improper payment rates for 2-4 consecutive years, with five agencies lacking documented policies for consistent reporting. The Treasury Department faces $186 billion in annual improper payments but cannot achieve compliance without external solutions due to regulatory ambiguity and procedural deficits.
Market catalyst
GAO has identified 7 agencies with programs reporting ≥10% improper payment rates for 2-4 consecutive years, but the data is scattered across PaymentAccuracy.gov, agency reports, and GAO documents - no centralized, searchable intelligence exists for external parties who need to assess federal payment risk.
