PRAC Accomplishments
The PRAC was established to serve the American public by promoting transparency and facilitating
coordinated oversight of the federal government’s COVID pandemic response and associated spending. We
aim to serve as the eyes and ears of the American public, monitoring the government’s pandemic response
spending and reporting accessible, timely, accurate, and comprehensive data that can be translated into
actionable insights.
In July 2020, we released our Strategic Plan for 2020 through 2025. The plan identified four goals to carry
out our mission and vision:
• Promote coordinated, comprehensive oversight.
• Prevent and detect fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement.
• Promote transparency.
• Ensure effective and efficient PRAC operations.
We present our key accomplishments during this reporting period that align with these goals.

Part Three–Our Data Analytics
Successes
The PRAC’s data analytics tools include more than five dozen data sources, with over 1 billion records from
public, non-public, and commercial data sources, each with specific rules governing their use. Some of these
data sets are shared across the OIG community. For example, we shared SBA nonpublic loan data sets with
47 OIGs and law enforcement agencies as part of our effort to combat fraud detected in the SBA’s PPP and
EIDL programs. Further, thanks to the hiring authority provided to the PRAC in the CARES Act, we have been
able to attract top data science talent from across the country. Our highly regarded Data Science Fellows
program, which detailed 27 data scientists to 14 OIGs to support their pandemic-related data analytics
efforts, successfully concluded in September 2025. Our data scientists and our data analytics platform have
been instrumental in advancing our efforts to identify improper payments and fraudulent activity in
pandemic programs.
Our experience and insights highlight the value of expanding data sharing agreements to better detect
and prevent fraud to protect the American public and taxpayer dollars. Our data scientists have developed
automated robotic processes for some of the tasks associated with monitoring pandemic relief spending.
These processes help identify flags and anomalies, which are then sent to our investigators for a closer look.
We have also developed risk models to help OIGs identify high-risk recipients of pandemic funds. The risk
flags across various risk models also support lead generation and streamline investigative analysis.
Additionally, we have shared code and models (e.g., data transformation scripts, entity resolution code)
with 17 OIGs and law enforcement agencies to help accelerate their analytics efforts. We shared the full
codebase for the Analytics Center Pilot in the CIGIE GitHub repository to promote broader interagency
collaboration, transparency, and reuse across the oversight community. Some of our successes this
reporting period include:
• Issuing a Fraud Prevention Alert in May 2025 highlighting potential income misrepresentations by
applicants seeking benefits from multiple federal programs: The analysis focused on individuals who
received PPP loans as sole proprietors and the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s
(HUD) Housing Choice Voucher or Low-Rent program benefits that require applicants to report their
income to HUD. Relying on our subject matter expertise, we used iterative, multi-tiered data analytics
techniques to flag over 40,000 instances where PPP applicants may have significantly misrepresented
their incomes when applying for more than $860 million in PPP loans. These insights can inform future
fraud prevention and oversight efforts.
• Issuing a Fraud Prevention Alert in June 2025 highlighting identity fraud risks in pandemic relief
programs: We analyzed a sample of applications from SBA’s PPP and EIDL programs and the Department
of Labor’s pandemic Unemployment Insurance programs using the Social Security Administration’s
(SSA) verification system, and identified nearly 24,000 records with questionable identifying information.
Projected across the full set of applications, this suggests 1.4 million potentially invalid or stolen Social
Security numbers (SSNs) linked to $79 billion in relief funds. We demonstrated the critical role that pre-
award vetting and advanced analytics can play in protecting taxpayer dollars and enhancing the integrity
of federal relief programs.
Highlights Background Accomplishments Appendices
Pandemic Response Accountability Committee 10
Semiannual Report to Congress
APRIL 1, 2025 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
• Developing two Fraud Prevention Proofs-of-Concept (POCs): The artificial intelligence (AI)/machine
learning-powered POCs—one using supervised learning and one using unsupervised learning—apply
simulated, retrospective analysis to a sample of approximately 5 million EIDL applications. These POCs
estimate the potential dollar exposure tied to applications that would have been flagged for review,
demonstrating how advanced analytics can proactively identify high-risk applications and strengthen
program integrity.
• Launching a joint initiative with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) OIG to design and
implement risk models and dashboards for three key FCC pandemic relief programs, collectively totaling
nearly $11 billion in funding: This effort integrates FCC program data with our existing data sources and
investigative insights to generate risk indicators and support oversight activities. Significant progress has
been achieved through ongoing, close coordination with FCC OIG stakeholders. The end-state deliverable
will be an interactive dashboard that enables investigators, auditors and investigative analysts to identify
and explore potentially risky entities in depth, enhancing the effectiveness of program oversight.
• Using graph analytics to generate investigative leads for the DOJ CFETF and other law enforcement
entities, with a focus on leads involving potential fraud rings and/or organized crime activity.
• Using graph analytics to support ongoing pandemic cases for the OIG and law enforcement community
with a focus on identifying potential network activity, often resulting in an increased potential fraud
amount subject to recovery and higher number of targets.

Part Four–Promoting Transparency
Through Our Website
During this reporting period, we continued to expand our innovative AI tool that allows users to submit
questions and get answers related to federal programs. We added all audits, evaluations, and inspections
published by IGs on Oversight.gov to Chapters one, two, three, and four of our Blueprint, and COVID
oversight reports published by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). With responses to questions, the
AI tool provides citations to the referenced Blueprint chapters, GAO reports, and IG reports.
We updated our State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) dashboard with Q4 data from the Department
of the Treasury. We provided users with the data from our Dashboards and Agency, State, and Program
pages on a new Download the Data page. In addition, we initiated building new PPP and SLFRF dashboards.
PRAC Outreach
We proactively keep the public and key stakeholders informed of our oversight work. The communications
team provided regular updates to congressional stakeholders to help inform and support congressional
understanding of the PRAC’s contributions in fraud prevention and recovery of federal funds diverted
by improper payments and fraud. We shared key insights and findings from Fraud Prevention Alerts and
reports through press releases, public newsletters, and other outreach to demonstrate how the PRAC’s
analytics capabilities can help agencies detect fraud risks and strengthen program integrity before funds are
disbursed. We also published numerous newsletters with updates on pandemic-related fraud schemes and
PRAC Fraud Task Force cases.
Our senior leaders and other staff members have provided insights, lessons learned, and demonstrations
on the PRAC’s reports and data analytics capabilities through speaking engagements, including
presentations for the GAO, SSA, the Association of Government Accountants, and the Association of Certified
Fraud Examiners. These engagements centered on topics such as fraud prevention and achieving more
effective government oversight.
Our unique vantage point allows us to share our insights and lessons learned with other oversight entities at
the federal, state, local, and international level to ensure watchdogs can work together to protect American
taxpayer dollars. When we share our insights through platforms such as these, we build new ways to ensure
that our partners and other stakeholders can approach challenges effectively and support the public as
efficiently as possible.
