Federal Labor Relations Authority

The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) remains committed to fiscal responsibility and diligent stewardship of taxpayer dollars. As part of our ongoing efforts, FLRA operates on a three-year Improper Payment risk assessment cycle. The results of our most recent risk assessment conducted in FY25 reaffirmed that FLRA's programs are not likely to be susceptible to significant improper payments, demonstrating our effective management and financial integrity. FLRA is currently incompliance with PIIA and has no Programs with annual outlays over $10M and therefore does not have any programs that are susceptible to significant improper payments.

Recovery information

Please note: Overpayment amounts recovered are reported in the year they were recovered, not the year they were identified. Therefore it is possible in some years to have a recovery rate greater than 100%.

Conditions giving rise to improper payments identified in recovery audits, how those conditions are being resolved, and the methods used to recover those payments

No improper payments were identified. In the instance there were payments identified, the proper recovery action would be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Why recovery audits are not cost effective in certain programs

The PIIA also requires agencies to conduct payment-recapture audits for each program that expends $1 million or more annually, if conducting such audits would be cost-effective. Based on the criteria set forth in Appendix C of OMB Circular A-123, the agency has also determined that it would not be cost-effective to establish a recovery-audit program for its programs that expend more than $1 million. Recoveries are not expected to be greater than the costs incurred to identify any overpayments.

Supplemental Information

The Do Not Pay (DNP) Initiative serves as a useful tool in mitigating the possibility of Improper Awards and Payments. If a vendor is on the DNP list, this information is communicated to our Contracting Officer thereby ensuring no contract awards occur with vendors on the DNP list thereby mitigating the possibility of potentially problematic contract awards/payments occurring.

The Working System has reduced/prevented improper payments:

FLRA has not identitied incorrect information in the Working System.

FLRA was found compliant during the most recent PIIA compliance review.
