Auditing State-Run Federal Programs

Summary#

The bill would require the Comptroller General to send Congress a list of state- and locally administered programs and practices that pose the greatest risk to federal funds. The first list would be due within two years of enactment, with updates afterward. It would identify risks, review practices that help protect funds, describe available federal support, and recommend actions to Congress. The review would rely mainly on existing public audits and oversight records. It would not authorize the Comptroller General to require information from state or local governments or to conduct independent audits of their programs.
