Compliance Programs Office
The mission of the Compliance Programs Office (CPO) is to contribute to the overall agency mission by ensuring full compliance with laws, regulations, executive orders, and policies regarding strategic planning, compliance/performance auditing, equal employment opportunity, security & investigation, and occupational safety & health.
The CPO is directly under the United States Commissioner. The CPO was established to ensure a centralized and coordinated oversight of designated executive-level planning and compliance programs established by law, regulation, or executive order. In turn, the USIBWC’s compliance with such mandates will contribute directly to its mission through effective strategic planning, compliance and performance auditing, establishment of a diverse workforce free from discrimination, and ensuring a work environment that is secure and protected from unsafe conditions to the fullest extent possible. The CPO is comprised of the following highly diverse programs covering all aspects of USIBWC operations and touching every employee:
