handle is hein.gao/gaorgf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Washington, DC 20548 B-336351 December 20, 2024 The Honorable Kamala Harris President of the Senate The Honorable Mike Johnson Speaker of the House of Representatives Subject: Fiscal Year 2024 Antideficiency Act Reports Compilation The Antideficiency Act prohibits an officer or employee of the federal government from obligating or expending federal funds in advance or in excess of an appropriation or an apportionment, and from accepting voluntary services. 31 U.S.C. §§ 1341, 1342, 1517. 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. Id. §§ 1351, 1517(b). The report must contain all relevant facts and a statement of actions taken. Since fiscal year (FY) 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 nine Antideficiency Act violation reports and agency transmittal letters submitted to GAO in FY 2024. The United States Department of Defense, Department of Agriculture, Department of Homeland Security, and Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board each submitted two reports, while the Interagency Council on Homelessness submitted one report. One of the reports from the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board was a correction to a report submitted to GAO in 2022. B-336351 Page 1
