USDA Inspector General Phyllis Fong told House appropriators Friday that her office would focus on cyber security and improper payment challenges with its fiscal year 2016 budget request for $98.9 million.
Fong said the money – up from an estimated $95 million this year – would support the agency’s current activities as well as fund two potential improvements to its operations. With $1.6 million, OIG would create a Center of Excellence intended to improve USDA’s oversight of improper payments, or those that should not have been made or were made in the wrong amount.
