The package, adopted by Congress and approved by the President, says the Recovery Board "shall develop and use information technology resources and oversight mechanisms to detect and remediate waste, fraud, and abuse'' in the aid program.

The Board will work with the Office of Management and Budget, along with the Inspectors General and heads of each federal agency that receives Sandy aid to provide oversight and track spending.

"In short, Tight wrote in her blog, "Congress clearly wants to ensure that aid funds are not misspent or diverted improperly.''
