[OMB is] launching a new website, www.PaymentAccuracy.gov to give taxpayers a way to join the fight by reporting suspected incidents of fraud, waste, and abuse.
On this site, you can see the rates and amounts of improper payments for each agency, the targets each agency has set for reducing and recovering improper payments, and the names of the designated accountable official at each agency responsible for meeting those targets. This list is just one of many steps the Administration has taken to fulfill its commitment to reduce improper payments through increased transparency, enhanced agency accountability, and new incentives for state and local governments.
In addition, PaymentAccuracy.gov, showcases agencies using new technologies and developing innovative solutions to reduce waste.
