The Government Accountability Office has found at least six major programs at this Department are out of compliance with the Improper Payments Act. The Department of Homeland Securitys independent auditor has repeatedly cited noncompliance. and the Department of Homeland Security continues to face significant challenges with FEMA and the Individual and Households Program. Based upon the Departments performance and accountability report and their independent auditor assessment. the following programs are out of compliance with the improper payments act: Customs and Border Protection. Office of Grants and Training. Federal Air Marshalsthe Coast Guard was supposed to have done a performance evaluation and risk assessment but it has not been done. FEMA. the Transportation Security Agency. and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Not one of them has performed the first risk assessment as to improper payments. In case you think that is not a lot of money. we have already spent over $25 billion in grants through the years for these programs. of which we have not looked at the problem accounts.
