FCA established its OIG in 1989 as a result of the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended (IG Act), which established specific responsibilities and authorities for all Federal Inspectors General. FCA’s Inspector General is appointed by the FCA Chairman without regard to political affiliation and solely on the basis of integrity and demonstrated ability in accounting, auditing, financial analysis, management analysis, investigations, law, or public administration. While the OIG is under the general supervision of the FCA Chairman, it operates with independent personnel and contracting and budget authority. FCA’s Inspector General reports both to the FCA Chairman and to Congress. By statute, the OIG is entitled to unfiltered access to all FCA records. The FCA Chairman has reinforced this authority, stating that the OIG has open access to all documents, databases, and meetings. The OIG also has the authority to issue subpoenas to obtain documents from sources outside the Federal Government.
