HUD OIG is auditing HUD's compliance with the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) for fiscal year 2023.

Our objectives are to assess (1) whether HUD has met all requirements of PIIA and OMB Circular A‐123, Appendix C‐Requirements for Payment Integrity improvement and (2) HUD’s efforts to prevent and reduce improper payments.
