Consumer Product Safety Commission
CPSC has two programs we report on based on our appropriations: “Payroll” and “Non-Payroll.” Of the $102M disbursed for payroll program activities, CPSC had no improper payments in FY 2025. Of the $41.8M disbursed for non-payroll program activities, CPSC had one (1) improper payment totaling $0.42, resulting from an underpayment for one invoice. The underpayment was reconciled and disbursed to the vendor. Overall, CPSC was compliant with PIIA reporting for FY 2025.

Why recovery audits are not cost effective in certain programs
The amount of improper payments related to the agency is immaterial (less than $1.00). Therefore, an audit to recover such payments would not be cost-effective for CPSC as it would cost more to perform the audit than the amount we would need to recover.
