The Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA) requires Federal agencies to implement information security programs. The act also requires agencies to conduct annual independent reviews to determine the effectiveness of their programs and report the reviews’ results to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). We have contracted with CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, an independent public accounting firm, to conduct the review of the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) information security program for fiscal year 2024, subject to our oversight.
For fiscal year 2022, the Department of Transportation (DOT) reported approximately $61.6 billion in payments for programs and activities susceptible to significant improper payments and estimated about $756 million in improper payments. The Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) requires Federal agencies to identify, report, and reduce improper payments in their programs and activities. PIIA also requires annual reports by inspectors general on their agencies’ compliance. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issues guidance that agencies must follow to implement PIIA.
