Strengthening Integrity in Government Programs

Fraud, waste, abuse (FWA), and improper payments continue to erode the integrity and efficiency of federal programs—costing taxpayers hundreds of billions annually and undermining public trust. In fact, the U.S. federal government loses between $233 billion and $521 billion annually to fraud ¹ .

Today’s bad actors exploit legacy technology via advanced cyber threats and malicious actions capable of causing catastrophic damage. In the face of such threats and complexities, addressing FWA, improper payments, and outdated technology is critical. 

This article from KPMG outlines a forward-looking strategy to help federal agencies modernize oversight, reduce vulnerabilities, and enhance operational outcomes. It explores how advanced technologies like AI, real-time analytics, and business activity monitoring can be leveraged to detect fraud, prevent improper payments, and streamline compliance.
