Office of Inspector General

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) was established by Congress as an independent oversight authority within the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), the government agency component of the broader Federal Reserve System. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) established the OIG as the independent oversight authority for the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau). Within this framework, the OIG conducts audits, investigations, and other reviews of the Board's and the Bureau's program functions. By law, the OIG is not authorized to perform program functions.

Effective July 25, 2011, Mark Bialek assumed the position of Inspector General for the Board and the Bureau.
