Washington, DC 20548 B-334682 February 8, 2023 The Honorable Kamala Harris President of the Senate The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House of Representatives Subject Fiscal Year 2022 Antideficiency Act Reports Compilation Agencies that violate the Antideficiency Act must report the violation to the President and Congress and transmit a copy of the report to the Comptroller General at the same time. 31 U.S.C. §§ 1351, 1517(b). The report must contain all relevant facts and a statement of actions taken. Since fiscal year 2005, GAO, in its role as repository for the Antideficiency Act reports that agencies submit, has produced and publicly released an annual compilation of summaries of the reports. We base the summaries on unaudited information we extract from the agency reports. Each summary includes a brief description of the violation, as reported by the agency, and of remedial actions agencies report that they have taken. We also include copies of the agencies' transmittal letters. We post the summaries and the agency transmittal letters on our public website. In some cases, the agencies also send us additional materials with their transmittal letters. We make these additional materials available to Members and their staffs upon request. Please find enclosed the compilation of summaries of the ten Antideficiency Act violation reports and agency transmittal letters submitted to GAO in fiscal year 2022. The Department of Veterans Affairs submitted six reports, while the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Defense, the Department of the Treasury, and the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board each submitted one report. While GAO has not opined on the agency reports or the remedial actions taken, we do note that many of the reported violations resulted from similar agency actions. For example, six of the reported violations resulted from government officials or employees obligating or expending funds in violation of statutory spending restrictions.
