STRATEGIC PLAN FY 2018 - 2022The Department of Defense Office of Inspector General was established in 1982 by the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended. We serve as an independent and objective office within the DoD that conducts oversight of DoD programs and operations.To fulfill its mandate, the DoD OIG operates along four core lines of effort: AUDITS of the performance, cost, efficiency, and effectiveness of DoD programs and operations, including acquisitions, contract management, readiness, cyber, and overseas contingency operations. These responsibilities include coordinating and conducting audits of the DoD’s financial statements. INVESTIGATIONS of criminal and administrative allegations related to the DoD. DoD OIG criminal investigations include allegations of procurement fraud, public corruption, product substitution and counterfeit parts, health care fraud, illegal technology transfer, and cyber-crimes and computer intrusions. DoD OIG special agents conducting criminal investigations are authorized to carry firearms, execute warrants, and make arrests. DoD OIG administrative investigations include allegations of senior official misconduct and whistleblower reprisal. The DoD OIG also manages the DoD Hotline to provide a confidential means to report alleged violations of rules or regulations; fraud, waste and abuse; mismanagement; or other criminal or administrative misconduct that involves DoD personnel and operations. The DoD OIG also provides education on whistleblower protections, rights, and remedies. EVALUATIONS that examine the efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and cost of DoD programs and operations. MISSION SUPPORT to support and enable DoD OIG operations, including personnel management and training, financial management, information technology, security, acquisition and contract management, legal support, and operational support. The DoD OIG also performs special reviews and investigations that combine these lines of effort and provide reports based on work conducted collaboratively by various components of the DoD OIG.Office of Inspector GeneralDODOIG_2e0b8366-70f4-11e9-8c80-92beb09d818fThe Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) is an independent and objective office that provides oversight of DoD programs and operations.
