Two significant conditions impacted the OIG's determination of TVA compliance for fiscal year (FY) 2011 with the Improper Payments Information Act of 2002, as amended (IPIA).First, as a government corporation, TVA is required to issue an Annual Management Report rather than a Performance Accountability Report (PAR) or Annual Financial Report (AFR), and most IPIA requirements apply to the PAR and AFR.Second, TVA's improper payments fell below the IPIA threshold in FY 2011, defined as $10 million of all program activity payments and 2.5 percent of program outlays (TVA's improper payments totaled $7,446,226 million and comprised 0.074 percent of program outlays).Under the IPIA, TVA was required to conduct a program specific risk assessment for FY 2011. TVA determined its primary programs susceptible to improper payments were its supply chain programs. TVA determined its total amount of payments subject to review under IPIA was $10,098,354,626. The OIG reviewed TVA's process for identifying programs susceptible to improper payments and noted it is in compliance with the IPIA.
