Comptroller General Lindsay Warren told Congress that fraud and waste in government contracts have cost taxpayers millions. Audits of about 1.165 billion dollars in contracts found improper payments exceeding 6.28 million dollars induced by fraud, with only about 107,882 recovered. The GAO recovered 474,717, while agencies resisted recovery efforts, defending their actions. Warren faulted the 1944 Contract Resettlement Act for enabling pre audit settlements before proper reviews.
