The Inspector General has a unique role as the source for objective examination of a Department’s programs and their integrity. OIG works within a Department to promote effectiveness and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse in departmental programs. We do this through audits and investigations. OIG also consults with Congress about programs in progress and proposed new laws and regulations.
