New York Improperly Claimed Federal Medicaid Reimbursement for the Drug Herceptin Over a 3-Year Period

The OIG audited TVA's fraud risk management activities to determine if it had incorporated the practices in its organizational culture and structure conducive to fraud risk management as identified by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) framework for managing fraud risk. In summary, we found while TVA has attempted to demonstrate a senior-level management commitment to integrity through various ethics and code of conduct policies, improvements are needed in TVA's practices to combat fraud and involve all levels of the agency in setting an antifraud tone. In addition, TVA management has not formally designated an entity to design and oversee fraud risk management activities. We recommended TVA management consider (1) developing policies and practices that directly communicate the senior-level commitment to combating fraud; (2) implementing practices, such as training and other fraud-awareness activities, that involve all levels of TVA in setting an antifraud tone that permeates the organizational culture; and (3) designating an entity within TVA to lead fraud risk management activities in accordance with the guidelines provided by the GAO framework. TVA management agreed with our recommendations, stating they were consistent with Public Law 114-186 signed by President Obama on June 30, 2016.
