The Protect Taxpayer Dollars Act

Weak financial oversight and inconsistent tracking of public funds have created gaps in accountability, making it difficult to verify how taxpayer money is spent. These deficiencies reduce public trust and increase the risk of waste, mismanagement, or misuse of funds without timely detection or correction. Proposal: The goal of this proposal is to strengthen accountability by requiring annual independent audits of major publicly funded programs. These audits will improve transparency, detect misuse of taxpayer funds early, enforce corrective action when needed, and restore public trust in how government money is managed and spent.
