520 |aThe purpose of this audit is to provide assurance that departmental activities with respect to the processing of overpayments are in compliance with policies, procedures, and regulations. The audit reviewed the overpayments of four programs: Disability Award, Disability Pension, War Veterans Allowance, and Earnings Loss. An overpayment is any amount paid to a beneficiary to which there is no entitlement, or which exceeds entitlement and are “debts to the Crown”. Veterans Affairs Canada is required to pursue and collect any outstanding amounts of overpayments. The total annual gross receivables (overpayments and other receivables), as of March 31, 2013, reported by VAC in the 2013 Public Accounts of Canada was $25.5 million. Of that amount, there is $20.9 million in program overpayments, of which $20.6 million is for overpayments related to the four programs in this audit’s scope. Within the four programs, the auditors reviewed a sample of 155, out of a total of 8,007, overpayment transactions generated during 2012-2013 and found that 75% of the overpayment amounts that formed the audit sample were recovered. However, there are a number of aged overpayments ($9.8 million), outstanding for up to 15 years, where no funds have been collected.
