Audit of the EPA’s Resolution of Improper Payments Identified Through Its Annual Review of the State Revolving Fund Program

Why We Did This Report

The OIG conducted this audit to determine whether the EPA appropriately identified and resolved improper payments during its annual review of the State Revolving Fund Program.
 

Summary of Findings

The EPA did not appropriately identify unknown and improper payments or properly track them for reporting and resolution, which resulted in the Agency’s regions underreporting unknown and improper payments by approximately $54.4 million for fiscal year 2022 and $8.8 million for fiscal year 2023 for the transactions we reviewed.
