Kentucky’s auditor will be testifying about fraud in front of a congressional subcommittee on Wednesday.
Auditor Allison Ball is one of the witnesses being called for a hearing titled, “Fraud Prevention: Understanding Fraud in Federally Funded Programs Run by the States,” according to lawmakers.
Legislators said the hearing is part of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s investigation into curbing both federal and state fraud.
In an annual report released in March, Ball said her office found several glaring issues, including more than $1 billion in financial reporting mistakes for the 2025 fiscal year. The second half of the audit report focused primarily on the Kentucky Medicaid program.
However, the latest audit found there were some improvements in other areas.
Ball said Kentucky is making progress toward finishing overdue nursing home inspections after her office noticed the issue two years ago.
