Pursuit's Take
In FY 2010, the Department awarded almost $6 billion in grants amounting to about 27 percent of the $21.8 billion in FY 2010 Commerce budget. Because the Department did not elect to include grants in its recovery audits from 2006 to 2010, annual grant totals ranging from $1 to $6 billion were not tested—eliminating an opportunity to find and report significant erroneous payments.
