Department of the Interior Office of Inspector General Semiannual Report to the Congress, October 2006; Rept. for 1 Apr-30 Sep 06

摘要

The OIG (Office of Inspector General) is responsible for independently and objectively identifying risks and vulnerabilities that directly impact, or could impact, DOI's (Department of Interior's) ability to accomplish it's mission. We are required to keep the Secretary and the Congress fully and currently informed about problems and deficiencies relating to the administration of DOI programs and operations. Effective implementation of this mandate addresses the public's demand for greater accountability and integrity in the administration of government programs and operations, and addresses the demand for programs that work better, cost less and get the results Americans care about most. The OIG accomplishes its mission by conducting audits, evaluations, assessments, and investigations relating to the programs and operations of DOI. These activities are also designed to ensure that we keep critical issues prominent, which greatly influences key decision makers and increases the likelihood that we will achieve desired outcomes and results that benefit the public. This document presents the results and accomplishments of the OIG from April 1 through September 30, 2006.
