H.R. 8312: Fraud Prevention and Accountability Act
Sponsor
Pete Sessions
Republican · TX-17
What H.R. 8312 does
H.R. 8312, the Fraud Prevention and Accountability Act, would give the Treasury Department's Bureau of the Fiscal Service responsibility for financial integrity, preventing improper payments and spending transparency. That includes running the Do Not Pay system, which lets agencies verify a recipient's identity and eligibility before paying, and a voluntary governmentwide program for sharing data to detect fraud. Treasury would also have to enter data sharing agreements with other federal agencies and allowable private entities.
The bill would create an Office of the Inspector General for Fraud, Accountability, and Recovery within Treasury. It would audit and investigate the use of certain federal funds, including funds, loans and tax credits from coronavirus response laws, federal awards of $50,000 or more, and emergency spending for disaster relief or economic recovery. It would report suspected federal crimes to the Department of Justice and could support prosecutors and enforcement authorities.
