High Cost Program Initial Statistical Analysis of Data from the 2007/2008 Compliances Attestation Examinations

摘要

The report contains a statistical analysis of initial data from the 2007/2008 audit of the High Cost (HC) Program of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission). The audits examined disbursements for the period July 2006 through June 2007. The data indicate that the program continues to be 'at risk' as that term is defined by the Improper Payments Information Act of 2002 (IPIA) and that administrative problems continue to exist within the HC Program of the Universal Service Fund (USF).
