The Office of Inspections and Special Investigations (OISI)
is responsible for conducting DOL employee integrity investigations
and performing inspections of OIG programs, operations, policies,
practices and procedures. OISI investigates allegations of fraud,
waste, abuse and mismanagement involving OIG and high-level DOL
employees. This office ensures that these types of investigations
are responded to in an efficient and effective manner. In addition,
OISI performs office inspections on all OIG Headquarter components,
regional offices, and field offices at regular intervals. OISI
also performs inspections and reviews of DOL offices and programs,
if warranted. The inspection process is a systematic review and
analysis to determine the managerial, administrative and operational
efficiency of an office.
