The Office of Inspector General at HUD is one of the original 12 designated by the Inspector General Act of 1978. The OIG oversees HUD's programs and operations through its audit and investigative activities. While organizationally located within the Department, the OIG's mission is to provide independent and objective reporting to the Secretary and the Congress. OIG activities seek to: Promote efficiency and effectiveness in programs and operations; Detect and deter fraud and abuse; Investigate allegations of misconduct by HUD employees; and Review and make recommendations regarding existing and proposed legislation and regulations affecting HUD. The Offices of Audit and Investigation carry out these duties with a staff located in Headquarters and in 10 Regional Offices.
