Recommendations

Take steps to ensure that the Appendix C risk assessment provides supportable information for IPIA compliance. This should include creating contract deliverables addressing Appendix C requirements and performing a quality assurance review to ensure that the contractor’s conclusions are thoroughly supported by evidence.

Review the various payment integrity-related internal control efforts and review procedures to enhance consistency among the different internal control compliance requirements.

Update policies/procedures pertaining to the agency’s improper payment notification, tracking, and monitoring. This policy/procedure should include steps to address and correct the high-level root cause of the improper payments identified.
