GovExec Daily: How to Oversee $1 Trillion Dollars in Relief

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020, Congress has tasked the Small Business Administration with administering more than $1 trillion through relief programs like the Paycheck Protection Program. Hannibal “Mike” Ware, the Small Business Administration inspector general, is tasked with the jobs of combating fraud and alerting the SBA of the ways to prevent it.

Recently, GovExec correspondent and frequent GovExec Daily guest Courtney Bublé interviewed Ware about his role in combating abuse of the relief programs and the ways his office uses information to that end. In this episode, you’ll hear Courtney’s interview with Ware on how he sees data, and collaboration as tools for COVID-19 oversight.
