TRUE Accountability Act

This bill requires government agencies to create plans to prevent fraud and wasteful spending when the government spends money during emergencies like disasters or pandemics. The Office of Management and Budget must provide guidance to agencies on how to build these plans, and agencies must submit their plans within one year and update them at least every three years. Each plan must include ways to evaluate the risk of losing money through improper payments or fraud, strategies to reduce those risks before money goes out the door, and systems to monitor payments and catch suspicious activity. The Office of Management and Budget must also send these plans to Congress every year along with recommendations for improving how emergency money is handled.
