Office of the Inspector General (OIG)

The OIG serves the residents of Massachusetts, state and local governments, and those who work with the government. The Office investigates crimes involving public funds and identifies waste and abuse in government spending. Anyone may call the Office’s confidential hotlines to report suspected fraud, waste or abuse of taxpayer funds: you do not have to give your name. The Office also provides trainings, manuals, guides and other assistance to help state and local agencies run more efficiently and use public funds appropriately. Information about the Office’s investigations and other activities, as well as links to free webinars, publications and other resources, are available online.
