Enhancing Fraud Risk Management in Federal Agencies: A Comprehensive Review

by Richie

in Compliance, Risk Management

The prevalence of fraud within federal programs poses a significant challenge, resulting in substantial financial losses and eroding trust in government initiatives. Addressing this issue requires a proactive approach from federal agencies and Congress. In this article, we explore a recent study that evaluates the efforts made by agencies to combat fraud and the associated challenges.

Fraud remains a pressing concern in federal programs, costing the U.S. government billions of dollars and undermining public confidence in government institutions. Recognizing the urgency of this issue, government agencies and Congress have been working towards mitigating fraud risks in federal programs.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) plays a vital role in this endeavor. In 2015, GAO introduced the “Framework for Managing Fraud Risks in Federal Programs” (Fraud Risk Framework) to guide federal program managers in strategically managing fraud risks. Additionally, statutory requirements since 2016 have mandated the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to provide guidance to agencies for implementing controls aligned with the Fraud Risk Framework.

Assessing Agency Progress

To evaluate the status of fraud risk management activities within federal agencies, GAO conducted a survey encompassing the 24 major agencies governed by the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 (CFO Act). The survey delved into several key aspects:

  1. Measures Taken: Agencies were queried about the measures they had undertaken to manage fraud risks.
  2. Factors Influencing Maturity: The significance of various factors in advancing the maturity of their fraud risk management efforts was assessed.
  3. Challenges and Motivations: Agencies reported on the challenges they faced and the factors driving their efforts in managing fraud risks.

Key findings from the survey responses included:

  • Designated Entities: Out of the 24 CFO Act agencies, twenty had designated entities responsible for fraud risk management, aligning with a leading practice outlined in the Fraud Risk Framework.
  • Loss Consideration: Agencies emphasized the importance of considering the amount lost to fraud when managing fraud risks.
  • Data Analytics Tools: An identified challenge was the availability of tools for data analytics in fraud risk management.
  • Reputation Management: Agencies recognized the potential impact on their reputation as a motivating factor in their fraud risk management endeavors.

GAO Recommendations and Congressional Matters

From July 2015 to August 2023, GAO issued 173 recommendations to more than 40 agency or program offices, focusing on areas aligned with the leading practices of the Fraud Risk Framework. As of August 2023, agencies still needed to take additional action to fully address 95 of these recommendations.

Furthermore, GAO identified two congressional matters that could enhance oversight of agencies’ fraud risk management efforts. However, as of August 2023, these matters remained unaddressed.

Combatting fraud risks in federal programs is paramount, given its implications for financial integrity and public trust. The insights gleaned from GAO’s survey shed light on the progress made by federal agencies in managing fraud risks and the challenges they encounter. As the government continues to tackle these issues, it is imperative for agencies to proactively implement leading practices and recommendations to effectively mitigate fraud risks and protect government resources.
