Implementing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act)

The GSA OIG will be implementing the provisions of the Recovery Act to the full extent of its capabilities. Additional auditors, investigators, and subject experts will be brought on board to review activities arising from the funds assigned to GSA. The GSA OIG will provide comprehensive oversight of the stimulus funds, including streamlined, up-front reviews, while maintaining its core activities.

Core oversight activities include internal audits that evaluate GSA functions and programs for economy, efficiency, and effectiveness; contract audits of proposals for multiple award schedule contracts as well as high value contract modifications and claims under construction contracts; and investigations of criminal activities that impact GSA programs.
