The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) failed to properly report almost all of its award outlay spending in fiscal year 2022, according to a new report by the agency’s Office of the Inspector General.
The report, published Tuesday, found that the EPA failed to accurately or completely report its fiscal year 2022 spending to USAspending.gov, the official open source registry for government spending.
The agency did not properly report 12.9% of its promised future award spending and 99.9% of the EPA’s actual award payments made in fiscal year 2022, according to the report.
