The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is comprised of two activities:
Program Activities, and Executive Direction and Management.
Program Activities Program activities within the
Office of Inspector General help prevent and detect fraud and abuse in
Department of Labor programs and operation. These program activities include
audit, program fraud, labor racketeering, and special evaluations and
inspections of program activities. The audit activity performs audits of the
Department's financial statements, programs, activities, and systems to
determine whether information is reliable, controls are in place, resources are
safeguarded, funds are expended in a manner consistent with laws and
regulations and managed economically and efficiently, and desired program
results are achieved. The program fraud activity administers an investigative
program to detect and deter fraud, waste and abuse in Departmental programs.
Unlike other Inspectors General, the Department of Labor OIG has
mission-related program responsibility for investigating racketeering and
corruption in the American workplace. The labor racketeering activity
identifies and reduces labor racketeering and corruption in employee benefit
plans, labor-management relations, and internal union affairs. The Office of
Analysis, Complaints and Evaluations conducts program evaluations and special
reviews of selected DOL programs or functions, analyzes complaints involving
DOL programs, operations or functions and provides Congressional liaison. The
OIG also provides technical assistance to DOL program agencies.
This request includes increased resources in the amount of $1 million to
provide audit oversight of DOL financial management as Federal financial
management statutory requirements and standards are increased or expanded.
Also, the request includes $500 thousand to assist DOL management in
determining whether requests for equitable adjustments submitted by Job Corps
construction contractors are appropriate.
Executive Direction and Management This activity
includes the management, legal counsel, administrative support, personnel and
financial functions for the OIG.
