BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Fraud In Government Programs:

--How Extensive Is It?

--How Can It Be Controlled?

                                                 Volume II


During the past few years, Members of Con-
gress, Federal administrators, and the public
have become increasingly concerned about
fraud against the Federal Government. Al-
though it is recognized that more must be
done to prevent fraud, effective actions have
often been hampered by a lack of information
about the problem.
This is the second of a three-volume report on
the results of a comprehensive review of the
nature, extent, and cost of identified fraud
committed against the Government at 21
Federal agencies. The review addresses five
basic questions: (1) What types of fraud are
committed? (2) Who commits it? (3) How
much is it costing? (4) How is it discovered?
(5) What happens to those who do it?
GAO believes this information, which was
summarized in volume I (AFMD-81-57), will
provide a better basis for planning effective
action, preventing and detecting fraud, and
determining appropriate punishment for those
who defraud the Government.
