Situation
After a dashboard number the IG already called misleading, hearing Q-and-A that conflicts with the published plan is what budget justification writer can touch in a cabinet agency defending a budget increase. Government will live with Pay or continue versus Recoup on this Budget and Performance file.
Decision
Budget justification writer in a cabinet agency defending a budget increase must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using hearing Q-and-A that conflicts with the published plan after a dashboard number the IG already called misleading.
Hypotheses to test
- The population in hearing Q-and-A that conflicts with the published plan is the one a dashboard number the IG already called misleading named, so Pay or continue follows for this Budget and Performance file.
- The population in hearing Q-and-A that conflicts with the published plan is adjacent only to a dashboard number the IG already called misleading; Recoup is the honest Government call.
- A cabinet agency defending a budget increase already contained a dashboard number the IG already called misleading before hearing Q-and-A that conflicts with the published plan arrived; no new Budget and Performance path.
- Provenance on hearing Q-and-A that conflicts with the published plan after a dashboard number the IG already called misleading is broken; do not pick Pay or continue or Recoup yet.
Analysis required
- Trace the audit trail budget justification writer would produce for oversight.
- Map eligibility, appropriation, and program rules in hearing Q-and-A that conflicts with the published plan after a dashboard number the IG already called misleading.

The follow-on Budget and Performance action is what budget justification writer does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
