Single Audit

No.

It's an audit system that the Reagan administration put in place with the Single Audit Act of 1984.

Okay.

Arrow is using next generation AI analytical tools to review at least five years of single audit data across all 50 states, identifying repeat findings and delinquent audits.

So then I went back and looked in fiscal year 23, 22, 21 on back, and it had been repeated for years.

So that's when the uncomfortable moment came inside the building when I pulled the team together and said, okay, why is this missed? And part of it was the largesse of the federal government that the audit goes into a clearinghouse and then each department, in this case HHS, transportation, labor, others, they all look at the findings Then they send it out to their divisions, and each division looks at the findings and reaches out to their counterpart in the states.

But because the audit cycle is so long that, you know, we wouldn't get the feedback until the next audit would come in, which is no way to run an enforcement program on the Single Audit Act.

The Legal Audit Act is remarkably clear on two things.

You helped organize an event at HHS on Tuesday.

My friend Gus Sciurillo and his team, including Matt Ketron, put together an event at HHS that featured the Arrow Initiative, which is designed to leverage Single Audit Act reports to highlight where there's risk of fraud and improper payments.

Basically, he's told grantees, including state, local governments, other big grantees, your audit reports show repeated weaknesses around payments.

You're not doing enough to ensure that federal dollars are going to the right people in the right amounts.
