Oversight of Ukraine Aid: Auditing Military, Economic, and Humanitarian Funds.
This Act aims to increase transparency and accountability in the spending of U.S. funds allocated for military, economic, and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Citizens gain assurance that public funds are being monitored for waste, fraud, and abuse, which is crucial for protecting taxpayer money. To achieve this, the authority of the existing Special Inspector General's Office is expanded to include oversight of Ukraine aid.
