Federal and state taxpayer dollars should be spent carefully and appropriately to ensure delivery of proper government services.
Fraud, waste, and abuse in relation to government programs threaten this goal and end up costing taxpayers and the government billions of dollars every year.
Program Integrity policies should be implemented to prevent unnecessary fraud, waste, and abuse in government agencies.
