FSA Corrective Action Plans

Every year, USDA agencies with programs susceptible to making payment errors (High-Risk Programs), sample and test financial transactions made during the prior fiscal year. The results provide a statistical analysis of the payment integrity rate of the programs and identifies potential opportunities to improve financial stewardship over program resources. The results and findings are published in the USDA Agency Financial Report which is posted to the USDA and Office of Management and Budget websites each year on November 15th.

Since payment integrity testing results are based on analyzing the prior year’s financial transactions, the successes and improvements resulting from corrective actions are reported the following year. The hard-working men and woman of USDA continue to implement corrective actions to resolve specific root causes that improve USDA’s payment integrity rates, strategically strengthen sound financial management, and improve efficient and effective delivery and access of USDA programs and services to all of our customers.
