"Federal agencies disburse more than $100 billion each year in
“improper payments” — meaning payments that should not have been made,
payments for goods or services that were not received, payments in the
wrong amount, duplicate payments, and so on. Efforts to reduce such
unjustified expenditures have not been successful. A new report from the
Congressional Research Service reviews the trends, and finds that “Over
the period of FY2004 through FY2017… improper payments have totaled
$1.3 trillion.” See Improper Payments in High-Priority Programs: In Brief, July 16, 2018."https://fas.org/blogs/secrecy/2018/07/eo-regulations-crs/
