OIG Reports and Recommendations

After conducting an investigation, review or audit, the OIG may issue a letter or report detailing its findings and recommending reforms to prevent future problems.

Much of the OIG’s work is confidential, but at the end of a project, the Inspector General may issue a letter or report. The letter or report may detail the findings and recommendations. Some publications are archived and are available only in print. If you prefer a printed version of any publication, or need a publication that is only available in print, please call or email the OIG.
