Federal Agencies Negligent In

Collecting Debts Arising From Audits




Each year, auditors detect and report hundreds
of millions in questionable expenses charged
to the Government by contractors and grant-
ees. Agencies are required to collect without
delay all expenditures determined to be im-
proper.

Despite Federal laws and regulations, as well
as congressional hearings and other GAO re-
ports on debt collection problems in recent
years, Federal agencies still have not developed
adequate systems to properly settle audit-re-
lated debts. GAO found that Federal agencies
have (1) ineffective collection systems, (2)
poor management practices, and (3) little as-
surance that amounts collected are not in fact
Government money.

GAO makes specific recommendations for im-
proving agencies' collection systems.
