Fiscal Year 2018 Compliance with Improper Payment Requirements

We conducted this review to determine the Department’s FY 2018 compliance with Improper Payments Information Act of 2002, as amended by the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010 and the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Improvement Act of 2012. In determining compliance, we also evaluated the accuracy and completeness of the Department’s improper payment reporting in the U.S. Department of Commerce FY 2018 Agency Financial Report and its performance in reducing and recapturing improper payments.
