Today, the PRAC submitted its ninth Semiannual Report to Congress, highlighting the work we've done between April 1 and September 30, 2024, to oversee the pandemic response.
Our report highlights the need to use the lessons learned from the billions of dollars lost to improper payments and fraud in the pandemic to help agencies and Offices of Inspectors General address risks before funds are disbursed, use data to proactively monitor transactions, and analytics to help investigate potential fraud, waste, and abuse. Among our efforts, as of September, our data analytics center supported 951 pandemic-related investigations, with nearly 23,000 subjects and a potential fraud loss of $2.2 billion.
Check out the graphic below for a snapshot of our accomplishments and view the full report on PandemicOversight.gov.
"We encourage Congress to maintain the valuable fraud-fighting tools of our data analytics center and expand its jurisdiction beyond pandemic relief funds. Without it, the federal government will no longer have an entity capable of proactively conducting cross-program, cross-agency analysis to help prevent improper payments in high-risk programs."
