We made five recommendations that will enhance FAMS’ overall effectiveness. We also identified a part of FAMS operations where, if discontinued, funds could be put to better use.

New York Did Not Always Ensure That Allegations and Referrals of Abuse and Neglect of Children Eligible for Title IV-E Foster Care Payments Were Recorded and Investigated in Accordance With State Requirements as Required by Federal Law
Congress has expressed concerns about the safety and well-being of children in foster care. These issues were highlighted in a series of media reports that provided several examples of children who died while in foster care. Accompanying the deaths were allegations of negligence as a contributing factor and evidence of sexual and physical abuse, sometimes after clear warning signs.
This report was submitted to the Comptroller General in accordance with Section 5 of the Government Accountability Office Act of 2008. The report summarizes the activities of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the second reporting period of fiscal year 2017. During this reporting period, OIG continued fieldwork on four audits and started an additional audit. We also closed five investigations and opened five new investigations. In addition, we processed 49 hotline complaints, which generally did not involve GAO’s programs and operations. We remained active in the GAO and OIG communities by briefing new GAO employees on our audit and investigative missions, and participating on Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency committees and working groups. Details of these activities and other OIG accomplishments are provided in the report.
