SBA issued a separate IFR regarding how SBA may audit PPP loans, including their forgiveness, and the loan forgiveness process for lenders. SBA also announced that PPP has approved over $511 billion across 4.4 million PPP loans through May 23, inclusive of funding authorized through both the CARES and PPPHCE Acts.
