Fiscal Detail and Notes
The additional costs associated with providing an immediate review of a program or function in the event that there is suspicion of a major auditing problem or fraud can be absorbed by the Office of Program Evaluation and Government Accountability utilizing existing budgeted resources.  This estimate assumes that the director and the oversight committee will make the determination that proceeding under an immediate review system would be appropriate.
