(<em>Internal control</em> refers to a process that provides reasonable assurance of achieving effective and efficient operations, reliable financial reporting, and legal compliance.)</p><p>This guidance must be in alignment with the Government Accountability Office reports entitled <em>A Framework for Managing Improper Payments in Emergency Assistance Programs</em> and <em>A Framework for Managing Fraud Risks in Federal Programs</em>. </p><p>Periodically, the agencies subject to this guidance must submit their internal control plan to OMB and OMB must submit such agency plans to Congress.</p>

The next hurdle is converting committee movement into a floor coalition.
