The Ronald Reagan Institute released findings that question the extent of documented waste, fraud and abuse across federal spending programs. The report reviewed available government audits and inspector general data on improper payments and program inefficiencies.
Researchers examined figures from multiple federal agencies covering fiscal years 2023 through 2025. The analysis compared stated savings targets with actual recoveries documented in official reports.
The institute stated that total verified improper payments amounted to less than 5 percent of the examined program budgets. It noted that many cited waste estimates rely on projections rather than completed audits.
