Services • Report Fraud, Waste & Abuse
Inspectors General
Inspectors General (IGs) provide independent oversight for agencies and programs. IG offices commonly investigate allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, and misconduct, and they also conduct audits and evaluations to improve program integrity and performance.
What IG Offices Typically Do
- Investigations: examine allegations and gather evidence.
- Audits: evaluate compliance, financial controls, and efficiency.
- Hotlines: accept tips and complaints from the public and employees.
- Recommendations: propose corrective actions to reduce risk and prevent recurrence.
Tips for a Clear Report
- Describe who, what, when, where, and how in a simple timeline.
- Attach supporting documents or describe where records can be found.
- Separate facts you observed from assumptions or second-hand reports.
