Our vision is to achieve results, assess risk, and protect the public interest through an independent partnership with the Board, built on
 integrity, excellence, and professionalism.

The Office of Inspector General of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) conducts independent and objective audits, inspections, evaluations, investigations, and other reviews related to Board programs and operations.  We take a results-oriented approach to our work that considers the Board’s strategic goals, objectives, and priorities; budgetary and financial impacts; and the potential for reputational, operational, and compliance risk.  Six fundamental values—independence, integrity, excellence, professionalism, empowerment, and commitment to the public interest—shape our decisions and day-to-day operations.

Our mission is to be a highly effective organization that promotes integrity, economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in Board programs and operations; helps prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse; and strengthens accountability to the Congress and the public. Through our collective and sustained effort going forward, we will achieve our vision, be guided by our values, and make a positive contribution in helping the Board manage risk and carry out its mission.
