USAID Complied With the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 for Fiscal Year 2023

Why We Did This Review 

• Public Law 116-117, the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) requires federal agencies, including USAID, to identify and review all programs and activities they administer that may be susceptible to significant improper payments and publish payment integrity information.  USAID publishes payment integrity information in its Annual Financial Report and on PaymentAccuracy.gov.
• The PIIA also requires agency Inspector Generals to review payment integrity reporting for compliance and issue an annual report.  We contracted with the independent certified public accounting firm of GKA P.C. Certified Public Accountants and Consultants (GKA) to determine whether USAID’s improper payment reporting in fiscal year 2023 complied with the PIIA.

What We Found

• GKA concluded that USAID complied with requirements of the PIIA for fiscal year 2023.

Why It Matters

• Compliance with PIIA requirements serves to improve efforts to identify and reduce government-wide improper payments.
• Our report does not include any recommendations.
