Although CMS did not address this recommendation in its comments, in subsequent discussions, an OACT official indicated they plan to continue to use contractor assistance to implement certain initiatives. In its comments, CMS reaffirmed its strong commitment to effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability in both the performance of its work and the conduct of control activities.

We encourage CMS to follow through and continue its practice of prioritizing its improvement efforts. In addition, CMS provided technical and editorial comments, which we incorporated as appropriate. ____________________________________ This report contains recommendations to you.
