Investment Detail
The Do Not Pay Business Center (DNPBC) is a Treasury-shared service that provides agencies access to information needed to identify, reduce, and prevent improper payments. The goal of the DNPBC is to prevent improper payments made through programs funded by the federal government. Improper payments occur when funds go to the wrong recipient, the recipient receives the incorrect amount of funds (including overpayments and underpayments), documentation is not available to support a payment, or the recipient uses funds in an improper manner. DNP's total known impact from October 2014 when it first began collecting outcome data through September 2022 is $825,215,057 in improper payments identified or stopped through its system.
