The Integrity Profile (TIP) Report for Fiscal Year 2005

The Integrity Profile (TIP) report is an analysis of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) State agency vendor management activities. The selection, authorization, and monitoring of vendors are State agency responsibilities. Annually, State agencies report to the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) information on vendors monitored and investigated and the actions taken against vendors that violated program requirements. This TIP report covers activities conducted between October 2004 and September 2005. The report discusses the safeguards that exist to prevent vendor fraud and abuse from occurring. These safeguards are an integral part of the WIC food delivery system and play a major role in ensuring program integrity. The TIP report serves an important program purpose in that it provides FNS and other interested parties with specific State-by-State data on WIC vendor characteristics, training, compliance activities and sanctions and promotes good stewardship of federal funds by assisting State agencies in identifying areas for improvement.
