The Board of Governors' Office of Inspector General (OIG) operates in accordance with the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended. The OIG plans and conducts audits, attestations, inspections, evaluations, investigations, and law and regulation reviews relating to the Board's programs and operations, and to those functions that the Board has delegated to the Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, it retains an independent auditor each year to audit the Board's financial statements. The OIG makes recommendations and conducts activities to promote economy and efficiency, enhance policies and procedures, and prevent and detect waste, fraud, and abuse in Board and Board-delegated programs and operations. The OIG also keeps the Congress and the Chairman of the Board of Governors fully informed about serious abuses and deficiencies.
During 2008, the OIG completed 15 audits, attestations, inspections, evaluations, and other assessments, and conducted a number of follow-up reviews to evaluate action taken on prior recommendations. It also issued a Compendium of Open Recommendations, the Strategic Plan 2008-2011, and two semiannual reports to Congress. In addition, the OIG closed nine investigations and performed numerous legislative and regulatory reviews.
