The Office of Inspector General (OIG) maintains a quality assurance program to ensure that work performed adheres to established OIG policies and procedures, meets established standards of performance, and is carried out economically, efficiently, and effectively. Also, in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and the Attorney General Guidelines for Offices of Inspector General with Statutory Law Enforcement Authority, the OIG's auditing and investigations functions are subject to peer reviews. These peer reviews provide an additional and external level of assurance of the OIG's adherence to prescribed standards, regulations, and legislation through a formal objective assessment of its operations. The Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) prescribes the methodology for performing peer reviews. Attached are the latest reviews of OIG's auditing and investigations functions.
