The AGA, in conjunction with the Office of the State Comptroller and the NYS Department of Transportation, is pleased to announce a new and increasingly important topic to our audio conference schedule – addressing the President’s Executive Order to reduce improper payments and eliminate waste.
On November 23, 2009, President Obama issued an Executive Order that said in part: “When the federal government makes payments…, it must make every effort to confirm that the right recipient is receiving the right payment for the right reason at the right time...” The order goes on to establish a number of requirements related to transparency; accountability; eliminating improper payments; coordination among federal, state, and local governments; tracking and reporting improper payments; and others.
Hear from “the leaders” on these new requirements to:
• Create an online dashboard of key indicators and statistics on improper payments.
• Create and publicize a single mechanism for the public to report suspected incidences of waste, fraud or abuse.
• Establish error reduction targets and report on them.
• Employ new internal techniques within agencies to better detect and mitigate improper payments.
• Increase data-sharing among federal agencies and programs and, where applicable, state and local governments and other stakeholders to improve eligibility verification and pre-payment scrutiny.
• Mandate quarterly reporting on certain errors and actions to recover and prevent improper payments.
• Pursue administrative actions to provide state, local and other organizations with incentives for reducing improper payments.
• Seek to enhance contractor accountability.
To discuss the Executive Order and its implications are Jeanette Franzel, CGFM, Director, Financial Management and Assurance, U.S. GAO; Jeffrey C. Steinhoff, CGFM, CPA, Executive Director, KPMG Government Institute; George D. Strudgeon, CPA, Audit Director, Social and Medical Services, Virginia Auditor or Public Accounts; and Daniel I. Werfel, Controller, Office of Federal Financial Management, U.S. OMB.
Please join us for two hours of lively discussion about this important and timely topic. In addition to the speakers’ commentary, there will be approximately 20 minutes for Q&A so that the participants can ask the speaker questions and share their own experiences.
