No. 107-300) and the Recovery Auditing Act (Section 831 of the Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (Pub.L. No. 107-107)), the Federal government has achieved measurable results in eliminating improper payments. This report describes the progress agencies reported during fiscal year (FY) 2008. Focus is placed where efforts stand with respect to identifying high-risk programs, developing statistically valid improper payment estimates, and eliminating improper payments. The report concludes with a discussion of the outlook for improper payments beyond FY 2008.
