Inspector General Jeffrey S. Shapiro testified before the House and Senate Committees on Ways & Means regarding the FY25 budget request for the Office of the Inspector General. IG Shapiro explained that there are three units within the OIG that were created by statute to have specific oversight of transportation, state police and health and human services. The OIG's main operating account funds operations for the whole agency and oversight of the rest of government.  

"In my 16 months as Inspector General, it has become even more apparent to me that the scope of what we cover – $120 billion in spending and oversight of the work of 300,000 public employees, as well as contractors, suppliers, vendors and not-for-profit recipients of public funds – creates a portfolio with an enormous depth and breadth."
