Improper Payments Recovery Auditing Reporting
Instructions:
a. Discuss your agency’s recovery auditing efforts. Include any contract types excluded from this review and the justification for doing so, the actions taken to recoup improper payments, and the business process changes and internal controls instituted and/or strengthened to prevent further occurrences.
In July 2004, HHS awarded a contingency fee contract to a recovery auditing firm to review FY 2002 and FY 2003 contract payments. During FY 2006, HHS exercised an option under the contract for review of FY 2004 and FY 2005 contract payments. To date, our recovery auditors have found the HHS payment systems to be secure and without major program integrity issues. As of September 30, 2007, $74,401 has been recovered out of more than $24 billion of contracts reviewed. Full results for the 2002-2005 period are displayed in the table below.
b. Complete the table below.
