Almost all of that amount had been ieturned by the vendors involved. The main reasons for hese improper payments were: --Automated payment system features and manual controls were not adequate to ensure that goods or services received were paid for only once. --Administrative practices at the payment center GAO reviewed decreased the effectiveness of existing automated controls. he payment center did not know how many duplicate ayments were returned by vendors. Also, claims for i entified duplicate payments were not aggressively pursued. QAO recommends several improvements to the auto- aiated internal controls and administrative operations hich should reduce duplicate payments and lessen administrative workload.
