WASHINGTON, D.C., USA, July 12, 2024 / EINPresswire.com / — Integrity and anti-fraud experts launch the Program Integrity Alliance (PIA), a new non-profit organization dedicated to maximizing the impact and quality of public spending through evidence-based, data-informed fraud prevention in government.

"I am thrilled to announce that we are launching a new organization with a vitally important mission. PIA will fill a crucial gap between the public and private sector, establishing a platform for sharing insights, advancing and deepening awareness of policy remedies, fostering data-driven innovation, and supporting academic research to support the fight against public sector fraud," said Linda Miller, co-founder of PIA and former Deputy Executive Director of the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC). Gavin Ugale, PIA's co-founder and alumnus of the OECD, where he led the work on technology for integrity, said, "At PIA, we will aim to bring together policymakers, practitioners, and researchers to tackle the hundreds of billions in taxpayer dollars lost to fraud and improper payments every year. Sustained, collaborative effort will be central to our ethos."
