We performed an audit of GSA’s compliance with the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 and have no reportable findings or recommendations resulting from this audit. However, we identified one observation for management’s attention regarding incorrect risk assessment criteria in GSA’s FY 2023 Risk Assessment Methodology and Summary Results, as detailed in the Observation section of this report.
We performed this audit as required by the PIIA. This law aims to improve efforts to identify and reduce government-wide improper payments. The PIIA requires federal agencies to review their programs and identify those that are susceptible to significant improper payments. For programs identified, agencies are required to estimate, report, and reduce improper payments through corrective action. Within GSA, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) is responsible for financial reporting and ensuring compliance with the PIIA. The PIIA requires each agency’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) to assess agency compliance in six areas (as later described). Our audit objective was to determine if GSA complied with the PIIA for FY 2023.
