right payment for the right reason at the right time.…. this
order adopts a comprehensive set of policies, including
transparency and public scrutiny of significant payment errors
throughout the Federal Government; a focus on identifying and
eliminating the highest improper payments; accountability for
reducing improper payments among executive branch agencies and
officials; and coordinated Federal, State, and local government
action in identifying and eliminating improper payments.”
