2 A Progress Report to the President ï Fiscal Year 2002

Fiscal Year 2002 Results

of OIG Efforts

The work of more than 11,000 employees of the Offi ces of 

Inspector General across government produced impressive 

results during FY 2002. Thousands of audits, investigations, and 

other reviews offered recommendations that promote economy, 

effi ciency, and effectiveness, as well as prevent and detect fraud, 

waste, and abuse in Federal programs and operations. These 

results include:

• Potential savings of nearly $72 billion.

• Nearly 10,700 successful criminal prosecutions.

• Suspensions or debarments of over 7,600 individuals or 

businesses.

• Almost 2,200 civil or personnel actions.

• More than 5,700 indictments and criminal informations.

• Over 234,000 complaints processed.

• More than 90 testimonies before the Congress. 

These accomplishments refl ect the work of the Federal Offi ces 

of Inspectors General, whose combined FY 2002 budgets totaled 

about $1.5 billion.

The members of the President’s Council on Integrity and Effi ciency (PCIE) and the 

Executive Council on Integrity and Effi ciency (ECIE) are pleased to present 

A Progress Report to the President, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002. In contrast with prior reports, 

this year’s report emphasizes the work and accomplishments of Inspectors General 

(IG) as a community and communicates our information differently. 

• First, this year’s report speaks to the progress the PCIE and ECIE are making in 

accomplishing their strategic plan. Adopted in May 2001, A Strategic Framework

provides direction and focus for the IG community and sets the mission, vision, 

goals, and objectives for the Councils over a 3-year period. The Councils are 

using this report to highlight the community’s numerous accomplishments and 

ongoing initiatives and showcase its cooperative spirit in collaborating to achieve 

many of the Framework’s goals and objectives. 

• Second, instead of providing a single year’s worth of statistical information 

that refl ects the accomplishments of individual Offi ces of Inspector General 

(OIG), this year’s report graphically illustrates how the community compares 

statistically to prior years. The investigative portion of these statistics also 

incorporates the methodology we began in the FY 2001 report to identify and 

eliminate duplicate reporting of investigative casework involving multiple IGs.

• And fi nally, rather than choosing from numerous examples of individual OIG 

work, Appendix A provides a resource guide that lists OIG work by management 

initiative. The work is further broken down by individual OIG with page 

references and Web site addresses. 

The report is divided into four distinct sections and several appendices. The fi rst 

two sections of the report provide an overview of the IG community and its efforts 

to accomplish strategic goals and objectives. A more high-level discussion on the 

community’s collective efforts to address governmentwide management challenges 

and the President’s initiatives can be found in the third section. The fourth section 

includes the statistical accomplishments of individual OIGs as well as graphs 

depicting community efforts over time. The appendices offer additional resource 

information, including the resource guide and listings of the PCIE and ECIE members. 

October 12, 2003, will mark the 25th anniversary of the Inspector General Act. 

This anniversary affords the community an opportunity to celebrate its many 

accomplishments. Our mission and the over 11,000 men and women charged with 

carrying it out make the IG community a signifi cant, positive force for improving 

the economy, effi ciency, and effectiveness of Federal programs and operations; 

strengthening government accountability and transparency; and preventing and 

detecting fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. As evidenced in this report, 
iv A Progress Report to the President ï Fiscal Year 2002

the OIGs accounted for nearly $72 billion in potential savings from agency action 

on current and prior recommendations and investi gative recoveries in FY 2002, 

representing a potential 50-fold return on the taxpayers’ $1.5 billion investment. 

The 25th anniversary provides an occasion to refl ect on how we can continue to build 

on our accomplishments. Over the next several months, we are looking to engage 

the Administration and the Congress in a dialogue to help us best position the IG 

community for the challenges ahead. As called for in our mission statement, we 

look forward to fulfi lling our roles as “agents of positive change” by addressing the 

ever-changing challenges our government faces today and in the future.

Presidentís Council on Integrity and Efficiency ï Executive Council on Integrity and Efficiency 1

Nearly 25 years ago, in October 1978, the Congress enacted and the President signed the Inspector 

General (IG) Act, creating independent audit and 

investigative offi ces in 12 Federal agencies. Derived 

in part from the the military custom of having 

an “inspector general” provide an independent 

review of the combat readiness of the Continental 

Army’s troops, the IG Act established a framework to foster accountability and integrity in 

government.

Before the Act was implemented, auditors and 

investigators were frequently scattered across the 

programs they were charged with reviewing, 

making it diffi cult to ensure independence, foster 

coordination, or detect patterns of abuse. The IG 

Act essentially centralized and elevated the audit 

and inves tigative organization under an IG, ensuring an independent voice to the agency head, the 

Congress, and the public, as well as the agency 

managers and Admin istration offi cials who act on 

IG recommendations.

Because the IG concept contributed signifi cantly 

over the years to improve government operations, 

the Act has been amended several times to expand 

the concept to most of the Federal government. The 

most signifi cant amendment to the Act came in 1988 

with the establishment of IGs in certain independent agencies, corporations, and other Federal entities, commonly referred to as “designated Federal 

entities.” Today, 57 IGs provide audit and investigative oversight across government.

Mission

In simple terms, IGs have two basic roles—to 

independently fi nd and report on current problems 

and to foster integrity, accountability, and excellence 

in government programs to prevent future problems. IGs meet their specifi c statutory mission by: 

• Conducting and supervising audits, investigations, and inspections relating to the programs 

and operations of their agencies.

• Reviewing existing and proposed legislation and 

regulations relating to the programs and operations of their agencies.

• Providing leadership for activities designed to 

promote economy, effi ciency, and effectiveness, 

and to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse in their 

agencies’ programs.

• Informing their agency heads and the Congress 

of problems in their agencies’ programs and 

operations and the need for and progress of corrective actions.

IGs also value their preventive role as independent 

“agents of positive change” within their respective 

agencies. They look to stakeholders for input on 

projects and areas of interest, typically drawing 

on these views in developing strategic and annual 

plans. Except in special circumstances, IGs generally 

share report drafts with their agencies and respond 

to agency comments in fi nal reports. IGs also routinely provide “technical advice” on a particular 

issue or piece of legislation to offi cials within 

their agencies and to the Congress. Many IGs also 

participate as non-voting members of their 

agencies’ senior councils, and OIG staff frequently 

provide advice on management policies under 

development. 

In carrying out their responsibilities, IGs report 

both to the head of their respective agencies and to 

the Congress. Unique in government, this dual 

reporting responsibility provides the legislative 

safety net that protects IG independence and 

objectivity. During FY 2002, OIGs collectively 

issued more than 4,600 reports and provided some 

90 testi monies before congressional committees. 

In addition, these OIGs closed more than 30,000 

investigations and processed about 234,000 complaints. These various reports include: 

Audit Reports. The IG Act requires OIG audits to be 

performed under auditing standards established by 

the Comptroller General of the United States. OIG 

audits evaluate: 

• Performance of agency programs and 

supporting administrative and fi nancial 

systems.

• Compliance with relevant laws and 

regulations.

• Opportunities to put funds to better use.
2 A Progress Report to the President ï Fiscal Year 2002

• Fair presentation of agency fi nancial statements 

in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

• Fulfi llment of responsibilities to the government 

by contractors and/or grantees.

• Entitlement of individuals or fi rms doing 

business with or receiving benefi ts from the 

government.

OIGs devote the bulk of their resources to audits 

and related services, with the work performed 

by OIG audit staff, other Federal auditors under 

cost-reimbursable agreements, or non-Federal auditors under various contracting or partnering 

arrangements.

Inspection and Evaluation (I&E) Reports. Inspections include policy and program evaluations. Several OIGs use inspections as a quick way to spot 

test the effectiveness of agency programs or to do a 

broad review on issues that affect agency programs. 

The PCIE and ECIE have adopted professional standards to promote the validity and independence of 

OIG inspections. 

Investigation Reports. In accordance with professional guidelines established by the PCIE and ECIE 

and, in certain cases, guidance from the Department 

of Justice (DOJ), OIGs investigate both criminal 

and administrative wrongdoing against agency programs and operations. IGs are empowered to investigate anyone who may have defrauded their agencies’ programs, including benefi ciaries, contractors 

or grantees, or Federal offi cials. IGs are required to 

report suspected violations of criminal law directly 

to the Attorney General and work cooperatively 

with DOJ’s United States Attorneys, the Federal 

Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and other law 

enforcement agencies on criminal investigations.

Semiannual Reports to Congress. The IG Act specifi cally requires IGs to summarize their most 

signifi cant recent reports—as well as agency management’s action on signifi cant IG recommendations—in a semiannual report to the Congress. 

These reports provide an overview of IG work 

and contributions. 

FY 2002 Results

During FY 2002, IG community efforts accounted 

for nearly $72 billion in potential savings from 

agency action on current and prior recommendations as well as investigative recoveries. As shown 

in Figure 1, the potential savings reported in 

FY 2002 are signifi cantly higher compared to the 

prior fi scal years. Management agreement on recommendations outstanding at the end of FY 2001 

was a signifi cant factor in this increase. Detailed 

statistics by individual OIG can be found in the 

tables, beginning on page 22.

IG Appointments

IGs are selected on the basis of personal integrity 

and expertise in accounting, auditing, fi nancial 

analysis, law, management analysis, public administration, or investigations. The IGs serving at Cabinet-level departments and sub-Cabinet agencies are 

nominated by the President and confi rmed by the 

Senate. These IGs can be removed only by the President, who must communicate the reasons for any 

such removal to both Houses of the Congress. IGs 

in designated Federal entities are appointed by the 

heads of those entities. These IGs can be removed 

by the entity head, who must notify the Congress of 

the reasons for removal.

Presidentís Council on Integrity and Efficiency ï Executive Council on Integrity and Efficiency 3

Presidentís Council on Integrity 

and Efficiency 

The presidentially-appointed IGs work together and 

coordinate their professional activities through the 

PCIE. This Council, which was created by Executive 

Order 12301, Integrity and Effi ciency in Federal Programs, dated March 26, 1981, and later updated in 

1986 by Executive Order 12625 and in 1992 by Executive Order 12805, promotes collaboration on integrity, economy, and effi ciency issues that transcend 

individual Federal agencies and seeks to enhance 

the professionalism and effectiveness of OIG personnel throughout the government.

The Deputy Director for Management of the Offi ce 

of Management and Budget (OMB) chairs the PCIE 

and is responsible for reporting to the President on 

its activities. The Vice Chair—an IG who is recommended by the PCIE members and approved by the 

Chair—manages the Council’s day-to-day activities. 

In addition to the presidentially-appointed IGs, 

members include the Controller of OMB’s Offi ce of 

Federal Financial Management; the Special Counsel 

from the Offi ce of Special Counsel (OSC); the Director of the Offi ce of Government Ethics (OGE); the 

Deputy Director of the Offi ce of Personnel Management (OPM); the Assistant Director, Criminal Investigative Division for the FBI; and the ECIE Vice 

Chair. A listing of the PCIE members can be found 

in Appendix C beginning on page C-1.

Executive Council on Integrity 

and Efficiency 

IGs of designated Federal entities work together 

and coordinate their professional activities through 

the ECIE. This Council, created by Executive Order 

12805 on May 11, 1992, has the same mission as the 

PCIE—to address integrity and effi ciency issues that 

transcend individual Federal agencies and enhance 

professionalism and effectiveness of OIG personnel 

throughout the government.

OMB’s Deputy Director for Management also chairs 

the ECIE, and the Vice Chair—an IG who is recommended by the ECIE members and approved by 

the Chair—manages the Council’s day-to-day 

activities. In addition to the IGs, the ECIE includes 

the Controller of OMB’s Offi ce of Federal Financial 

Management; the Special Counsel of OSC; the 

Director of OGE; the Deputy Director of OPM; the 

Assistant Director, Criminal Investigative Division 

for the FBI; and the Vice Chair of the PCIE. A 

listing of the ECIE members can be found in 

Appendix C.

Council Leadership, 

Committees, and Work Groups

The PCIE and the ECIE provide leadership to the 

IG community, reaching across agency boundaries 

to promote professionalism and coordination 

among the Councils’ membership and provide a 

forum to speak out on shared concerns. During 

FY 2002, Mark Everson, OMB Deputy Director for 

Management, chaired the two Councils. Gaston 

L. Gianni, Jr., IG, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, served as the PCIE Vice Chair, and 

Barry R. Snyder, IG, Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System, served as the ECIE Vice 

Chair.

In 2001, in consultation with the Chair, the PCIE 

and the ECIE memberships established an Executive Council comprised of the Vice Chairs of the 

PCIE and the ECIE and the Chairs of the standing 

committees headed by IGs discussed in Table 1, 

with at-large members as appropriate. The Executive Council provides corporate leadership for the 

PCIE and ECIE, centralizes external communications and relationships on behalf of the IG community, compiles and distibutes information regarding common priorities, and provides a long-term 

planning and leadership structure sanctioned by the 

IG community. 

The PCIE, in conjunction with the ECIE, maintains 

six standing committees to examine important 

issues and assist the Councils in their ongoing 

efforts to promote integrity, accountability, and 

excellence in government. The ECIE has at least 

one member on each of the standing PCIE committees and forms ad hoc committees as needed. In 

addition, members of both Councils join together 

in roundtables and working groups throughout the 

year to address a wide range of relevant issues, 

such as government performance, information technology security, and misconduct in research. PCIE 

members also represent the Council and foster 

working relationships with the Chief Financial 

Offi cers (CFO), Chief Information Offi cers (CIO), 

and the Procurement Executive Councils. Table 1

Presidentís Council on Integrity and Efficiency ï Executive Council on Integrity and Efficiency 5

On May 29, 2001, members of the PCIE and 

ECIE adopted A Strategic Framework to guide their 

collective efforts to address governmentwide management challenges and fulfi ll their mission and 

responsibilities within their own agencies. The 

Framework provides the mission, vision, goals, objectives, and strategies for the Councils to follow over 

a 3-year period. We are pleased to report by goal 

the Councils’ accomplishments during FY 2002 and 

highlight the community’s ongoing initiatives. 

Goal I

Improve Federal programs and operations.

Individually, IGs are legislatively mandated to 

(1) conduct, coordinate, and supervise audits and 

investigations; (2) detect and prevent waste, fraud, 

and abuse; and (3) promote economy, effi ciency, 

and effectiveness. As a community, the PCIE and 

ECIE focused their attention during FY 2002 toward 

accomplishing the three objectives for improving 

Federal programs and operations, established in the 

fi rst goal of the Framework. 

For FY 2002, the IG community met its goal for 

improving Federal programs and operations. Given 

its mission and responsibilities, the IG community 

will direct its energies toward meeting this goal every 

year.

Objective: Provide information on crosscutting management challenges in need 

of attention from the Congress, the 

Administration, and others.

• As has been the case over the last 4 years, 

the PCIE and ECIE have compiled information 

reported by the OIGs to reveal management challenge trends facing our government. This compilation is useful in highlighting signifi cant crosscutting issues and identifying possible governmentwide projects warranting high-level attention and review. The most recent compilation of 

the government’s management challenges can be 

found on page 14 of this report. 

• Under the leadership of the IT Roundtable, the 

PCIE and ECIE issued the second report of 

a 4-part effort addressing critical infrastructure 

protection within the Federal government. This 

report, prepared by the NASA OIG, summarized 

the work of 13 OIGs, focusing on their respective 

agencies’ planning and assessment activities for 

critical, physical infrastructure assets. Continuing 

into the third phase of this effort, 16 OIGs 

are examining their agencies’ implementation of 

plans to protect critical cyber-based infrastructures. The results of this review will be reported 

in FY 2003.

• In response to a request from the Chairman, 

Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, the 

Vice Chairs compiled a list of reports issued by 

members of the IG community related to critical 

security concerns. This listing highlighted security issues reported by the IG community over a 

5-year period.

• Initiated by the EPA OIG, the Environmental 

Compendium project was a collaborative effort 

of the PCIE to develop an information database 

that identifi es the Federal departments and agencies with programs that contribute to the overall 

protection of the environment. The result is a 

searchable database listing 29 Federal agencies 

that share responsibility for environmental goals. 

This database can be used as a tool to plan and 

perform audits and evaluations as individual or 

joint OIG efforts. This tool will also be useful 

to anyone seeking information on the various 

Federal entities that contribute to environmental 

outcomes.

• The GPRA Roundtable provides an avenue for 

representatives from about 40 Federal agencies 

to interact with prominent experts and gain perspectives from the Administration, the Congress, 

and government think tanks and hear best practices on government performance and accountability. During FY 2002, the Roundtable produced 

information on competitive sourcing by the IG 
6 A Progress Report to the President ï Fiscal Year 2002

 community and analyzed OMB’s new Program 

Assessment Rating Tool (PART). 

Objective: Work together to effectively address 

common vulnerable management challenges.

• The Audit Committee led the Federal audit 

community in key initiatives to facilitate 

implementation of the President’s Management 

Agenda. Through the Federal Audit Executive 

Council, the Committee worked collaboratively 

with the CFO Council to address the acceleration 

of the fi nancial statement audit and reporting 

process. In addition, the Committee formed a 

joint work group with the CFO Council to focus 

on the issue of erroneous payments within 

the Federal government. One of the products 

from this group was a paper that defi ned the 

problem, highlighted possible causes, and offered 

suggestions and recommendations to address 

the problem. Sub-work groups examined 

indicators and benchmarks for dealing with 

this problem and processes for determining 

erroneous payment rates. This joint work group, 

co-chaired by the Department of Education 

IG, will continue to monitor this issue. These 

products can be found on both the IG community 

and CFO Council Web sites, www.ignet.gov and 

www.cfoc.gov, respectively.

• With leadership from the Social Security Administration OIG, the Audit Committee also initiated 

a project to review agency controls over Social 

Security numbers. The results of this review, 

expected in 2003, have relevance for urgent 

national concerns, such as homeland security 

and identity theft. Fifteen OIGs participated in 

this review.

• During FY 2002, misuse of government purchase 

and travel cards was prevalent across government. In addition to conducting their individual 

reviews, nine OIGs, under the auspices of the 

I&E Committee, built on the work of the 

Departments of Education and Commerce OIGs 

and published A Practical Guide to Reviewing 

Government Purchase Card Programs. This guide 

was designed to serve as an adjunct to individual 

agency purchase card review programs and aid 

the IG community in addressing the increasingly 

important issue of purchase card use and 

abuse. It also serves as an excellent example 

of how OIGs work collectively to promote 

effi ciency and effectiveness throughout the 

Federal government. The guide is available via 

CD-Rom and on the Internet at www.ignet.gov.

• Many OIGs, in accordance with the Government 

Information Security Reform Act (GISRA), 

reported on the extent of management controls 

over the security of their agency’s information 

resources. To support the community’s efforts in 

this area, the IT Roundtable hosted a conference 

for the IG and CIO communities to hear from 

OMB, the General Accounting Offi ce (GAO), 

law enforcement, and the National Institute for 

Standards and Technology on GISRA implementation. Later in the year, the FDIC OIG 

sponsored a conference to provide the CIO and 

IG communities with an update on the July 2002 

OMB guidance for complying with GISRA.

• The IT Roundtable is also exploring ways for 

OIGs to assist in the event of threats to the 

nation’s cyber infrastructure. The Roundtable 

was represented on the Cyber-Interagency 

Working Group, which was created by the 

President's Critical Infrastructure Protection 

Board to consider such threats. The IT Roundtable has organized three working groups to 

coordinate with the audit, investigative, and 

other OIG professionals to assist in activity 

planning and leadership.

• Over the past year, the MIR Working Group 

concentrated its efforts on providing members 

of the IG community with technical guidance 

to oversee their agencies’ efforts to implement 

research misconduct policies. As a result, the 

Group produced the Agency Research Misconduct 

Implementation Checklist to highlight key issues 

that OIGs should review to assess the integrity 

of agency-led efforts. The Group also developed 

a working paper titled, Application of Civil/

Criminal Statutes to Research Misconduct Cases, 

which assists OIGs in adequately assessing 

criminal or civil issues that may arise from a 

research misconduct investigation. Both products 

are available on www.ignet.gov. 

Objective: Provide information annually on 

the OIGsí efforts to address operational and 

program improvements.

• As discussed in PCIE and ECIE’s annual report, 

A Progress Report to the President, FY 2001, the

IG community accounted for over $28 billion 
Presidentís Council on Integrity and Efficiency ï Executive Council on Integrity and Efficiency 7

in saved and recovered funds and was instrumental in over 7,600 successful prosecutions, 

suspensions or debarments of nearly 8,800 individuals or businesses, and more than 2,000 civil 

or personnel actions. This report refl ected the 

results of an IG community project, under the 

direction of the Investigations Committee, to 

eliminate the potential for duplicative reporting 

of joint casework among OIGs. In addition, this 

report highlighted the contributions of the dedicated OIG employees who assisted in the work 

related to the September 11 tragedy.

• The IG community held its annual conference 

on April 23–24, 2002, with its theme focusing on 

“Challenges of a New World.” The conference 

provided the community an opportunity to collaborate on various initiatives, hear enriching 

speeches from high-level Administration offi cials 

and Members of the Congress, and exchange pertinent and valuable information. The Treasury IG 

for Tax Administration and the National Labor 

Relations Board OIG partnered together to host 

this conference. 

PCIE and ECIE Accomplishments

Goal II

Communicate reliable and timely information to maintain 

public confidence in the OIG community.

In the current environment, demands for timely and 

responsive information are increasing. The PCIE 

and ECIE have recognized these demands and, 

during FY 2002, have sought opportunities to share 

the results of the community's efforts and educate 

our stakeholders by keeping them apprised of our 

initiatives and accomplishments.

Objective: Create a PCIE and ECIE public 

information function to give voice to the 

Councils and the OIG community. 

• For the most part, the Councils’ Vice Chairs serve 

as the public information voice of the Councils. 

On February 15, 2002, the PCIE Vice Chair testifi ed before the House Government Reform Subcommittee on Government Effi ciency, Financial 

Management and Intergovernmental Relations to 

offer the overall IG community perspective on 

the President’s Management Agenda. However, 

IGs are expected to be the public information 

voice to address issues of national importance 

related to their agencies. During FY 2002, 

individual IGs fulfi lled this role by testifying 

90 times before congressional committees.

• The Journal of Public Inquiry, a semiannual publication of the IG community, continued to address 

issues and topics important to its audience. The 

Fall/Winter edition focused on the war on corruption and the Spring/Summer edition refl ected 

on the horrors of September 11 and shared personal accounts of that tragic day. The Treasury 

IG for Tax Administration served as the Journal’s 

editor-in-chief. These and other editions of 

The Journal of Public Inquiry can be found on 

www.ignet.gov.

• The PCIE Vice Chair hosted several delegations 

of foreign visitors who had a common interest 

in learning about issues affecting government 

integrity. In addition to receiving pertinent documents, the visitors were educated on the purpose and intent of the IG Act, the role of IGs as 

impartial advocates for better government, and 

the purpose and identity of the PCIE and ECIE. 

A copy of the general presentation is available on 

www.ignet.gov. 

The IG community met its goal to communicate 

reliable and timely information to maintain public 

confi dence during FY 2002. Over the next year, 

the commun ity will build upon these efforts to 

further enhance its communications and outreach.
8 A Progress Report to the President ï Fiscal Year 2002

Objective: Create a voice for informing and 

educating the Congress, Administration, and 

the public about the PCIE and ECIE and OIG 

roles and responsibilities, initiatives, projects, 

accomplishments, and results. 

• Over the past few years, members of the Investigations and Legislation Committees have met 

with key congressional staff members from the 

House and Senate oversight committees to brief 

them on the importance of statutory law enforcement authority and provide supplemental information. Using this information, Senators Fred 

Thompson (R-TN) and Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) 

and Representatives Dan Burton (R-IN) and 

Henry Waxman (D-CA) played critical roles in 

the passage of this legislation. Statutory law 

enforcement authority becomes effective in May 

2003.

• Over the past year, the Legislation Committee 

has been considering whether, in light of 

the 25th anniversary of the IG Act, legislative 

modifi cations are needed to enhance the IG 

community’s operations and effectiveness. The 

issues the Committee is exploring include 

PCIE and ECIE codifi cation and IG reporting 

requirements. As appropriate, these legislative 

issues may be raised with the 108th Congress.

• The PCIE created an Inspector General Task 

Force to advise and assist OMB in addressing 

operational, management, and budgetary matters 

during the consideration of the Homeland 

Security Act of 2002. Given the importance of 

oversight during the transition of various agency 

components, this task force helped sort through 

various issues and raised insightful matters for 

further consideration.

• Over the past year, the I&E Committee provided 

outreach to private and other public sector 

groups, and revised its Web site to help 

its outreach efforts. This liaison work has 

included presentations to the Association of 

Government Accountants, the American 

Evaluation Association, the Eastern Evaluation 

Research Society, and other professional 

organizations.

• Throughout the country and in a variety 

of forums and professional associations, IGs 

or their senior executives shared knowl edge 

and experiences in various conferences and 

workshops, presenting information on audit, 

investigative, inspection, evaluation, and 

government integrity issues and best practices.

Objective: Establish a centralized clearinghouse 

for legislation, key documents, and commentaries of concern to the IG community. 

• IGnet is the most readily available link to the IG 

community. In addition to serving as a central 

clearinghouse for key PCIE, ECIE, and OIG 

reports, statistics, publications, and other information, IGnet serves as a springboard to electronically connect with the Federal OIGs and the 

issues they are addressing. 

• The Legislation Committee serves as the central 

coordinating point for legislative issues affecting 

the community. Last year, the Committee sent 

out over 30 legislative alerts to systematically 

inform the OIGs about legislative developments 

within the Congress and policy issues within the 

Administration. 

Goal III

Advocate and implement human resource development programs 

that will aid in the recruitment and retention of a corps 

of well-trained and highly skilled OIG staff members.

The IG community recognizes that the more than 

11,000 auditors, investigators, evaluators, and other 

employees are its most critical resource. The PCIE 

transformed its Professional Development Committee into the Human Resources Committee to focus 

its attention on exploring innovative and effective 

human resource management programs to better 

serve the IG community. The Committee, which 
Presidentís Council on Integrity and Efficiency ï Executive Council on Integrity and Efficiency 9

began its efforts in 2002, will serve as the central 

coordinating body for this effort, with other groups 

within the IG community continuing to focus on 

education and professional development. 

The IG community substantially met its 

human resources goal to advocate and implement 

programs to maintain a well-trained and highly 

skilled employees. The community will continue to 

enhance its existing programs and look to develop 

programs in the OIG management and succession 

planning areas. 

Objective: The PCIE and ECIE will establish 

and improve professional staff development 

programs.

• During FY 2002, the Inspectors General Auditor 

Training Institute (IGATI) successfully completed 

60 training classes and conducted 17 agencyspecifi c training programs, involving over 1,400 

students. At the end of September 2002, the 

Institute closed its doors at Ft. Belvoir after 

10 years at that location in suburban Virginia, 

and re-located to its new state-of-the-art training 

center in Rosslyn, Virginia. The new center 

is multi-use and includes offi ces for instructors 

and administrative staff, three classrooms, one 

large computer lab, three breakout rooms, and 

a library with Internet access. The PCIE Audit 

Committee oversees IGATI operations and its 

annual budget of about $1.2 million. IGATI 

is self-funded with its revenue coming from 

student tuition fees. 

• FY 2002 was also a productive year for the IG 

Criminal Investigator Academy. In addition to 

conducting 32 classes attended by 616 students, 

the Academy developed three new training 

programs and began coordination of computer 

security and investigations training through 

Sytex, Incorporated and the Defense Computer 

Investigations Training Program. The Academy 

also worked with a number of OIGs to provide 

and/or coordinate agency-specifi c training to 

meet their unique needs. These training programs ranged from a one-day arrest techniques 

refresher program in the Washington, D.C. area 

to the 4-week special agent basic training programs in Glynco, Georgia. Finally, the Academy 

continued to work closely with the Federal Law 

Enforcement Training Center to provide investigative professionals to support the Center’s 

specialized training programs. The PCIE Investigations Committee serves as the Academy’s 

Board of Directors and sets policies, approves 

budgets, and authorizes staffi ng. The Academy 

has an annual budget of $2.5 million, which is 

funded by assessments paid by and contributions of staff from the IG community.

• The I&E Roundtable continued to sponsor 

training programs unique to the inspection and 

evaluation activities of the community. Over the 

past 2 years, about 120 OIG staff members have 

attended courses in effective writing, evaluation 

skills, statistics, questionnaire design and survey 

techniques, and evaluation skills and analysis. 

The Roundtable is currently working with IGATI 

to expand its training opportunities for the I&E 

portion of the community. 

• The Human Resources Committee continued 

a tradition of hosting high-impact and wellattended professional development forums. 

During FY 2002, the forums addressed an 

interesting range of topics including 

whistleblower protection, government credit 

card use, government ethics, performance 

management, and the President’s Management 

Agenda. 

• The IT Roundtable hosted Mark Forman, OMB 

Associate Director for Information Technology 

and E-Government, to discuss the President’s 

electronic government (E-Government) Initiative 

and the IG's role in ensuring that the initiative is 

implemented effectively. 

• As part of its strategy to identify and promote 

innovation in recruiting and improvement in 

the skill sets of OIG professionals, the Human 

Resources Committee undertook a benchmarking 

survey to identify, codify, and document the 

generic skill sets of the IG community. Ideally, 

the Committee anticipates using this information 

to better develop training courses sponsored by 

IGATI, the Investigator Academy, and others. 

The fi nal results of the survey should be issued 

in 2003. 

• During the annual PCIE and ECIE awards 

program held in the fall of 2002, the community 

recognized 850 individuals for their outstanding 

performance and commitment to fulfi lling the IG 

PCIE and ECIE Accomplishments
10 A Progress Report to the President ï Fiscal Year 2002

mission. Specifi cally, the community recognized 

four individuals for their outstanding career 

accom plishments and 96 individuals or teams for 

excellence in audit, investigation, evaluation, law 

and legislation, management, and administrative 

areas. During the program, Mark Everson, OMB 

Deputy Director for Management, emphasized 

the President’s deep commitment to improving 

government management. “The Inspectors 

General, as our frontline defense against waste, 

fraud, and abuse, are a critical component 

of accountability in government.” FBI Director 

Robert Mueller, who was the ceremony’s keynote speaker, paid special thanks to the many 

IG staff who assisted in the reponse to the 

World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks and 

continue to contribute to the prevention of future 

attacks. 

Objective: Develop a model for management 

development and succession planning programs. 

• Based on the benchmarking survey discussed 

earlier, the President’s Management Agenda, and 

other factors impacting government administration, the Human Resources Committee has initiated discussions with the Federal Executive Institute and other institutions to develop a management curriculum for the IG community focusing 

on leadership, systems, and results. The Committee is continuing its efforts on this project into 

2003. 

Goal IV

Foster and advance the professional image and effectiveness 

of the IG community.

The PCIE and ECIE provide leadership to the IG 

community and reach across agency boundaries to 

promote professionalism and coordination within 

the community. The Councils also provide a mechanism for sharing concerns, which may involve specifi c IG interests or the goals of preventing fraud, 

waste, and abuse in the executive branch. During 

FY 2002, the Councils continued their efforts to 

maintain and advance the effectiveness, professionalism, and integrity of the IG community. 

The IG community met its goal for advancing 

its professionalism and effectiveness. Many of the 

efforts initiated during FY 2002 will become standard practice in the way the Councils interact and 

operate over the next year. 

Objective: Enhance the management system 

for the Councils to allow the IG community to 

perform in an effective and timely manner.

• In accordance with A Strategic Framework, 

the Executive Council provided corporate 

leadership, centralized external communications, 

compiled and distributed information regarding 

common priority areas across the IG community, 

and provided long-term planning. The membership of the current Executive Council consists 

of the Vice Chairs of the PCIE and ECIE, who 

are appointed by the Council Chairs, Chairs 

of Committees under IG leadership, and one 

at-large member. The Executive Council met 

quarterly during FY 2002.

• As created by Executive Order, the Integrity 

Committee receives, reviews, and investigates, 

where appropriate, administrative (non-criminal) 

allegations of wrongdoing by IGs and, in certain 

cases, senior OIG staff. During FY 2002, the 

Integrity Committee reviewed 28 new complaints and processed and brought to closure 

24 separate complaint matters, which included 

cases opened in previous years but not closed 

until FY 2002. Of the 24 cases closed, the Committee determined that 20 were outside its 

pur view and referred them to other agencies for 

consideration. Two were unsubstantiated, one 

case was sub stantiated, and one case was closed 

administratively. The Committee also supervised 

one investigation into allegations of misconduct 

by OIG personnel. The investigation was closed 

as a result of a settlement agreement.
Presidentís Council on Integrity and Efficiency ï Executive Council on Integrity and Efficiency 11

Objective: Develop and keep current PCIE and 

ECIE orientation programs for new and current 

IGs on issues facing the IG community. 

• The IG holds a unique position within the 

Federal government. While some newly 

appointed IGs may have experience in the 

IG community, others come into the position 

without a working knowledge of the issues and 

challenges they are about to face, and could 

benefit greatly from the insights and knowledge 

of experienced IGs. To that end, the IG Academy 

initiated and conducted two one-day orientation 

seminars for new IGs. The program featured 

discussions on the IG Act and its requirements, 

agency and congressional relations, and 

operational issues associated with leading an IG 

office. These seminars will be continued as new 

IGs enter the community. 

• Over the years, many IGs have discovered 

the use of inspections and evaluations to be 

an effective tool. During FY 2002, the I&E 

Committee Chair and members of the I&E 

Roundtable offered to assist new and sitting IGs 

who were interested in establishing I&E units 

within their office. Approximately 20 OIGs now 

have evaluation or inspection units.

Objective: Establish and maintain professional 

standards for OIG operations where needed.

• The Audit Committee revised and updated the 

Guide for Conducting External Quality Control 

Reviews of the Audit Operations of Offices of 

Inspector General. This guide presents the 

standards and detailed guidance for conducting 

external quality control reviews of OIG audit 

operations. The revised guide was updated to 

incorporate standards, laws, regulations, and 

other directives affecting OIG audits through 

February 2002. To ensure accessibility throughout 

the community, these revised “peer review” 

guidelines are housed on www.ignet.gov. 

• The Investigations Committee, through its 

Investigations Advisory Subcommittee, formed a 

working group to draft a Guide for Conducting 

Qualitative Assessment Reviews for Investigative 

Operations of Inspectors General. Once 

implemented, the use of this external peer 

review guide by OIGs to review the investigative 

practices of other OIGs will be unlike any 

other process in the traditional Federal law 

enforcement community. Implementation of the 

peer review process is planned for FY 2003. 

• The Audit Committee developed OIG audit peer 

review schedules for the FY 2003-2004 cycle. The 

Investigations Committee is developing a similar 

schedule for OIG investigative offi ces. 

The next section discusses the community’s collective efforts to address governmentwide management challenges and the President’s initiatives.

PCIE and ECIE Accomplishments

Presidentís Council on Integrity and Efficiency ï Executive Council on Integrity and Efficiency 13

The Federal government continues to encounter 

challenges and obstacles to good government. This 

past year, the efforts to combat terrorism, the impact 

of adverse ecomomic conditions on our society, and 

the efforts to improve the management and performance of the agencies and departments have placed 

an increasing strain on the effi ciency, effectiveness, 

and integrity of our government. The IG community is aware of the ever-changing government environment, and during the past fi scal year, has continued to identify and assist agencies in addressing 

key challenges dealing with fi nancial and program 

performance, information technology and security, 

human capital, procurement and grant management as well as the on-going challenge of securing 

the homeland, critical infrastructure, and the public 

from future terrorist actions. 

Additionally, the top management challenges identifi ed by the IG community closely correlate with 

the President’s Management Agenda, which targets 

fi ve governmentwide reform initiatives. These initiatives include: human capital management, competitive sourcing, improving fi nancial performance, 

expanded electronic government, and budget and 

performance integration as well as the added 

emphasis on homeland security activities. The goal 

of the President and his Administration through 

these initiatives is to achieve a more responsible 

and responsive government that is citizen-centered, 

results-oriented, and market-based. 

With their focus on activities that promote governmentwide effi ciency and effective ness, the PCIE and 

ECIE annually compiled these management challenges into a short report. This effort began in 

December 1997, when congressional leaders asked 

Federal IGs to identify “the 10 most serious management problems” in their agencies. This request 

became a yearly process that was eventually codifi ed into law with the enactment of the Reports 

Consolidation Act of 2000, which required agencies 

to include their OIG’s list of signifi cant management 

and performance challenges in their annual performance and accountability reports. This compila tion 

identifi es for the Congress and others responsible 

for overseeing government activities possible governmentwide matters that war rant high-level attention and review. The management issues compiled 

by the IG community that present challenges for the 

near future are as follows:

• Information Technology Management 

• Financial Management and CFO Statements 

• Performance Management, Measurement and 

Accountability

• Human Capital and Staffi ng

• Procurement and Grant Man agement

• Homeland Security 

• Service to the Public

Information technology and fi nancial management 

rank high as the key challenges agencies must confront, according to the IG community. Addressing 

performance and human capital management as 

well as procurement and grant matters are also priorities. Understanding that agencies need assistance 

in tackling these challenges, the IGs are committed 

to working with their respective agencies to provide 

suggestions for addressing these issues.

The top management challenges for each agency 

are refl ected in Table 2. Appendix A of the report 

provides additional references to the respective OIG 

semiannual reports for the past year that refl ect 

individual OIG work related to the President's Management Agenda and homeland security. These 

semiannual reports contain additional details on 

each OIG’s activities to address their respective 

agency challenges, as well as other statistical information on their audit and investigative efforts.

Managing Information 

Technology and Protecting our 

Infrastructures are Critical for 

Homeland Security

The terrorist events of September 11, 2001 have not 

only raised the awareness of our vulnerabilities but 

increased our focus on securing our homeland from 

future possible events. On November 25, 2002, the 

President signed into law the Homeland Security 

Act of 2002, creating the new Cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The creation of 

this new department was called for to bridge the 

communication and accountability gaps that previously existed among Federal agencies and programs 
14 A Progress Report to the President ï Fiscal Year 2002

by, among other things, creating a central point to 

analyze terrorist information and protect our critical 

infrastructure. 

The Inspector General community recognizes that 

securing the nation’s information and critical infrastructure is essential to economic and national 

security. During FY 2002, the IG community 

devoted much attention to the government's information technology and physical infrastructures to 

determine the risks and vulnerabilities related to 

unauthorized access, vandalism, equipment failures, human error, weather and other natural 

causes, and cyber-attacks.

IT Security Evaluations

IGs continue to report information techology and 

security as a top management challenge and have 

also considered physical infrastructure protection 

as a priority. To assist agencies in addressing 

this challenge, IGs conducted annual independent 

evaluations of their agencies’ information security 

programs and practices as part of GISRA, which 

codifi ed and reiterated existing security policies 

and responsibilities. Although GISRA expired 

in November 2002, these information security 

evaluations conducted by the OIGs will continue 

as required by the Homeland Security and 

E-Government Acts of 2002, which incorporated 

the provisions of the Federal Information Security 

Management Act (FISMA). Additionally, as noted 

in the prior section, the PCIE issued a report to 

the Chairman, Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, during FY 2002, which provided a list 

of almost 300 reports issued or work performed 

by the OIGs over the last 5 years related to critical 

infrastructure security concerns in their respective 

departments and agencies.

Critical Infrastructure Protection

The PCIE and ECIE also are continuing to collaborate on a four-phase review of Federal 

agencies’ implementation of the President’s Executive Order calling for a national effort to ensure 

the security of critical infrastructures. During 

FY 2002, in the second phase of these reviews, 

several OIGs reported over 140 recommendations 

to their respective agencies to improve their 

protection of critical physical infrastructure assets. 

A consolidated report was also sent by the PCIE 

and ECIE to the OMB Director, the Offi ce of 

Homeland Security, and the President's Critical 

Infrastructure Protection Board, as noted in the 

prior section.

The IG community's IT Roundtable serves as a 

forum for sharing, coordinating, and disseminating 

best practices information on IT issues affecting its 

members. Information on OIG activities related to 

securing the homeland and protecting the public's 

health and safety is provided in the individual 

semi annual reports of each OIG. Appendix A 

provides references to homeland security (page A-1) 

and information technology (page A-3) activities 

reported in the OIGs’ semiannual reports.

Financial Information 

Needs to be More Timely, 

Reliable, and Useful for 

Sound Decision-making

The Administration continues to emphasize that 

fi nancial information needs to be more timely, reliable, and useful to enable agency and other government offi cials to make sound decisions regarding 

the expenditure of monies on government programs 

and functions. Since the enactment of key legislation 

during the 1990s to improve Federal fi nancial management, OIGs have acquired a more central role 

in identifying fi nancial management and accounting 

system weaknesses. 

CFO Act Audits

OIGs conducted audits on FY 2001 fi nancial statements, as required for 24 CFO Act agencies, 

and issued 18 unqualifi ed or “clean” opinions. In 

FY 2002, the number of CFO agencies receiving 

“clean” opinions, which were issued by an earlier 

due date than in the past, increased from 18 to 

21. The Department of the Treasury and Social Security Administration received clean audits within 

45 days of the end of the fi scal year, meeting a 

governmentwide goal 2 years early. Agencies also 

included their annual performance reports with 

their audited fi nancial statements. 

Although not all agencies have received clean opinions, improvements in fi nancial management continue to be made. However, not all of these agencies 

met Federal Financial Management Improvement 

Act (FFMIA) mandates such as complying with 

the Standard General Ledger and other accounting 

system requirements. Further, much more needs to 

be done to improve the quality, timeliness, and 

usefulness of fi nancial information as well as the 

fi nancial information systems themselves. Over the 

years, our experience shows that for some agencies, 

attainment of a clean opinion is a fragile and 

somewhat artifi cial achievement because it results 

from extraordinary end-of-year efforts and may not 

refl ect a reliable and constant accounting operation.

The Administration’s emphasis on accelerating the 

reporting requirements over the next few years, to 

eventually require in 2004 an audited fi nancial statement within 45 days after the end of the fi scal year, 

could be a signfi cant challenge for some agencies. 

Addressing Government Challenges and the Presidentís Initiatives
16 A Progress Report to the President ï Fiscal Year 2002

Additionally, the Accountability of Tax Dollars Act 

of 2002 extends the requirement for audited financial statements to about 78 more Federal agencies 

beginning in FY 2003. As previously mentioned, 

the CFO and IG communities are working together 

to address these emerging issues. For example, 

the PCIE Audit Committee worked collarboratively 

with the CFO Council to focus on accelerating the 

financial statement audit and reporting process. 

Erroneous Payments

The IG community is also addressing other financial 

management-related issues such as erroneous payments, purchase and travel card use, and other 

financial matters. The IG community and CFOs are 

conducting a joint project to determine the extent of 

erroneous payments and identify ways to address 

this almost $30 billion problem. Together, a white 

paper and framework for action titled Improper and 

Erroneous Payments in the Federal Government have 

been issued and posted on the respective CFO and 

IG Web sites, www.ignet.gov and www.cfoc.gov, to 

describe the different kinds of erroneous payments, 

identify causes, and suggest improvements to prevent such payments from occuring.

Purchase and Travel Card Abuse

Purchase and travel card abuse by employees in 

the Federal government as identified through OIG 

audits has received much Congressional and media 

attention. To aid other OIGs and their agencies in 

reviewing their purchase card programs, the PCIE 

I&E Committee developed and published A Practical Guide to Reviewing Government Purchase Card 

Programs. The guide is available on the Internet at 

www.ignet.gov. This Committee also is preparing a 

best practices report for assessing agencies’ travel 

card programs. 

Additional information on various OIG fi nancial 

management activities is available on the individual 

OIG Web sites and semiannual reports as noted in 

Appendix A (page A-6).

Performance Measurement and 

Accountability Must Be 

Integrated with the Budget

In a survey conducted by the Association of Government Accountants and Government Executive

magazine last year, more than 800 senior government executives and Federal managers indicated 

that they would like more access to information 

that ties costs to performance. Although Federal 

departments and agencies have developed plans 

and reported on their performance as required 

by GPRA, this information has not always been 

aligned or included in their budget submissions to 

OMB. 

To do this, OMB used its PART to analyze 234, 

or 20 percent of Federal programs that account for 

nearly $500 billion in annual government spending, 

and found that half of the agencies could not 

demonstrate meaningful results. The Administration's goal of improving program results while controlling costs will continue to receive increased 

focus through further integration of budget and performance analyses.

GPRA Implementation

The IG community continues to consider GPRA 

implementation, accountability, and linkage of 

budget to performance as signifi cant agency challenges. As noted in Appendix A (page A-12), much 

work has been performed by the OIGs in the budget 

and performance initiative. Many of the OIGs have 

made the assessment of GPRA-related performance 

measures a standard part of their work, and have 

identifi ed areas for improving performance budgeting and data verifi cation and validation, streamlining time-tracking systems, simplifying tracking 

of product and service costs, and making other 

enhancements to the performance management 

framework. Agencies will also need to upgrade 

their fi nancial and program information systems to 

generate the appropriate information for fully integrating their budget and performance programs. 

Additionally, through the GPRA Roundtable, the IG 

Councils have engaged their members and others 

in meetings and forums for sharing current information on government performance and accountability, as well as for exchanging ideas and other 

related information. As previously discussed, the 

GPRA Roundtable provides an avenue for representatives from about 40 Federal agencies to interact 

with prominent experts and gain perspectives from 

the Administration, the Congress, and government 

think tanks and hear best practices on government 

performance and accountability. During FY 2002, 

the Roundtable offered suggestions for OMB’s consideration when implementing PART.

Federal Human Capital 

Challenges are Mounting 

and Need Attention 

Looming retirements and recruitment and retention 

obstacles, as well as changing employee development and payroll processes, have made this area a 

major challenge for the Federal government. Additionally, the establishment of the DHS and integration of functions, responsibilities, and approximately 170,000 personnel from 22 agencies, including certain OIGs, will continue to affect human 

resource needs for Federal agencies and departments over the coming years. The Administration 

is addressing this risk by asking each agency to 

develop a viable human resource strategy to attract 

and retain the right people, in the right places, and 

at the right time. 

During the last year, as noted in Appendix A 

(page A-10), over half of the OIGs conducted 

work in this area. These OIGs reported that agencies could address their human capital issues 

through workforce skills and competency assessments, benchmarking against other Federal or 

private sector organizations, succession planning, 

innovative recruitment and hiring approaches, 

improved training opportunities and techniques, 

adoption of appropriate workplace tools, and other 

workforce planning strategies. 

Members of the IG community agree that human 

capital management is a major challenge not only 

for their respective agencies but also for their internal organizations. As discussed in the prior section, 

the PCIE has also aligned its committee structure 

by establishing a Human Resources Committee 

to create and implement innovative and effective 

human resource management programs within the 

community.

Continued Oversight of 

Procurement and Competitive 

Sourcing Practices is Needed

Increased emphasis is being placed by the Administration on creating competition between Federal 

and private sources for certain tasks that are readily 

available in the commercial marketplace, such as 

administrative support, certain aspects of facilities 

management, and payroll services. Under the Federal Activities Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act, agencies and the OIGs are identifying functions that 

could be performed by the private sector. With 

this emphasis on “market-based” government, the 

OIGs’ independent assessment of agency contracting activities takes on added importance. As a 

result, the OIGs continue to identify procurement 

and grant management as a major management 

challenge and have performed extensive work in 

this area as noted in the competitive sourcing section of Appendix A (page A-14). 

The IG community, through its audit and investigative work to review government procurements and 

processes, has noted that generally, the Federal government has been lax in its contractor oversight. 

A signifi cant portion of the questioned costs and 

funds to be put to better use reported by the OIGs 

in their audit reports pertained to poor contractor 

oversight that resulted in excessive and unnecessary costs as well as fraudulent billing schemes. 

Additionally, OIG investigative work continues to 

confi rm the vulnerability of programs to general 

contract fraud and embezzlement, and has resulted 

in the recovery of billions of dollars. Appropriate 

internal controls and effective oversight must be in 

place to ensure that the goods or services are not 

only meeting the needs of the government and the 

public, but that they are provided in the most costeffective and effi cient manner. 

Government Must Continue to 

Improve Services to the Public 

Under the Government Paperwork Elimination Act 

(GPEA), executive agenices must move toward 

more E-Government transactions. The purpose of 

GPEA is not simply to replace paper transactions 

with electonic ones, but to help agencies improve 

operations, achieve cost savings, and develop adequate controls to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. 

According to OMB, E-Government is increasingly 

becoming the principal means by which Americans 

are engaging with our government for services and 

information. Over 60 percent of all Internet users 

interact with more than 31 million Federal Web 

pages on 22,000 government Web sites, and this 

number is growing. In 2002, the Pew Foundation 

reported that 68 million Americans have used government Web sites, up from 40 million reported in 

Addressing Government Challenges and the Presidentís Initiatives
18 A Progress Report to the President ï Fiscal Year 2002

2000. In December 2002, the President signed a bill 

that established an E-Government offi ce and authorized $345 million to fund 22 interagency technology initiatives over 4 years.

OIGs across the Federal government agree that 

electronic technology can be used effi ciently and 

effectively to improve services to the American 

taxpayer, and have begun reviewing E-Government 

initiatives with a view toward ensuring that appropriate controls are in place to safeguard the government’s sensitive data and critical systems. The 

IG community plays a vital role in overseeing the 

government’s management of information technology and the resources dedicated to E-Government. 

The OIGs also recognize that the growth of Web 

access and E-Government, the availability of 

electronic access under the Freedom of Information 

Act (as amended by the Electronic Freedom of 

Information Act), and the implementation of GPEA 

will further increase demands for online records 

and services. Appendix A (page A-3) provides a list 

of OIGs that have reported on E-Government 

activities as well as other IT-related projects during 

the past fi scal year.

The following section of the report includes the 

statistical accomplishments of the IG community 

during FY 2002 as well as graphic illustrations that 

show how we compare to prior years. Historically, 

we have provided this information for individual 

OIGs. This is the fi rst time we have provided comparative illustrations. 
Presidentís Council on Integrity and Efficiency ï Executive Council on Integrity and Efficiency 19

The tables on the following pages demonstrate the 

impact the OIGs have in their agencies and summarize key accomplishments for FY 2002, using 

statistics submitted from the reporting OIGs, as well 

as graphs comparing results from prior years. In 

most cases, the statistical data reported are defi ned 

by the IG Act, 5 U.S.C. app. § 5, by which the 

Congress established uniform reporting categories 

for each IG’s semiannual report to the Congress. 

Because of data limitations or features peculiar 

to individual OIGs, some variations occur, as 

explained in the accompanying footnotes.

For the second year in a row, the investigative 

 statistics cited in this report were consolidated using 

a methodology designed to identify and eliminate 

duplicate reporting of casework involving multiple 

IGs. By using this methodology, the statistics 

reported in the following tables for many OIGs will 

differ from those same investigative statistics in the 

OIGs’ semiannual reports to the Congress. As in 

the past, these statistics include the efforts of 

the OIGs when their investigations are conducted 

jointly with traditional law enforcement agencies 

such as the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Postal 

Inspection Service, or state and local law enforcement agencies.

Funds For Better Use

The IG Act defi nes a recommendation that funds be 

put to better use as follows: 

 “a recommendation by the Offi ce that funds could 

be used more effi ciently if management of an establishment took actions to implement and complete 

the recommendation, including (1) reductions in 

outlays; (2) de-obligations of funds from programs 

or operations; (3) withdrawal of interest subsidy 

costs on loans or loan guarantees, insurance, or 

bonds; (4) costs not incurred by implementing 

recommended improvements related to the operations of the establishment, a contractor, or grantee; 

(5) avoidance of unnecessary expenditures noted in 

pre-award reviews of contractor grant agreements; 

or (6) any other savings which are specifi cally 

identifi ed.”

For FY 2002, including Defense Contract Audit 

Agency (DCAA) audits performed in agreement 

with OIGs or agencies, PCIE member agencies recommended that approximately $15 billion be put 

to better use; ECIE member agencies recommended 

that approximately $127 million be put to better use. 

As shown in Figure 2, the IG community as a whole 

recommended about $15.2 billion could be put to 

better use in FY 2002. 

In FY 2002, PCIE member agency management 

agreed with approximately $64.9 billion in recommendations that funds be put to better use; ECIE 

member agency management agreed with nearly 

$30 million in recommendations that funds be put 

to better use. For FY 2002, Figure 2 shows that management agreed with IG recommendations of about 

$64.9 billion in funds that could be put to better 

use. This amount is signifi cantly higher compared 

to prior fi scal years, primarily because management 

agreed during FY 2002 on recommendations outstanding at the end of FY 2001. 

Recommendations for funds to be put to better use 

can be resolved without an actual monetary recovery or reduction in outlays. In many cases, it will 

be possible for management to take other corrective 

action to remedy or remove the condition that led 

to the auditor’s fi nding. Con sequently, the totals 

reported in this category will not typically represent 

monetary savings to the Treasury in like amount.

Questioned Costs 

The IG Act defi nes a questioned cost as 

“a cost that is questioned by the Offi ce because of 

(1) an alleged violation or provision of law, regulation, contract, grant, or cooperative agreement, or 

other agreement or document governing the expenditure of funds; (2) a fi nding that at the time of 

the audit, such cost is not supported by adequate 

documentation; or (3) a fi nding that the expenditure 

of funds for the intended purpose is unnecessary or 

unreasonable.”

During FY 2002, including DCAA audits performed in agreement with OIGs or agencies, PCIE 

member agencies questioned costs of approximately 

$2.8 billion, while ECIE member agencies tallied 

approximately $250 million in questioned costs. 

In total, FY 2002 questioned costs totaled about 

$3 billion. 

For FY 2002, PCIE member agency management 

agreed with approximately $2.2 billion in questioned costs; ECIE member agency management 

agreed with approximately $261 million in questioned costs. Combined, agency management 

agreed with about $2.4 billion of PCIE and ECIE 

recommendations. 

Questioned costs can be resolved without an actual 

monetary recovery or reduction in outlays. In many 

cases, it will be possible for management to take 

other corrective action to remedy or remove the 

condition that led to the auditor’s fi nding. Consequently, the totals reported in this category will not 

typically represent monetary savings to the Treasury in like amount.

Agency

 1. AID’s FY 2002 beginning balance of $2,091,022 was decreased by $118,790 to refl ect adjustments in fi nding amounts.

 2. DOC totals do not equal because resolution may result in values greater than the original recommendations.

 3. DCAA results for DOD include incurred cost, Cost Accounting Standards, and defective pricing of DOD and all other agencies except 

NASA. Therefore, the results of audits conducted by DCAA and management decisions on DCAA audit recommendations may be reported by 

more than one OIG.

 4. DOD ending balance reported in the FY 2001 report was $7,325,900,000. FY 2002 beginning balance adjusted for contracts not awarded and 

revised audit fi ndings and recommendations.

 5. DOI’s FY 2001 ending balance was $193,712,749. FY 2002 beginning balance reduced by $137,363,712 primarily to eliminate local non-Federal 

funds for DOI insular area governments.

 6. DOL’s FY 2001 ending balance was $80,978,425. Beginning balance of FY 2002 differs due to post-reporting period adjustments of $696,754.

 7. DOL “Recommendations Issued” and “Recommendations Agreed To” include $86,874 of additional costs disallowed by the contracting 

offi cer during audit resolution.

 8. In FY 2002, DOT management agreed to a higher dollar amount than the outstanding recommendations. Recommendations with a dollar 

value of $7,039,000 had no management decision at the end of FY 2002.

 9. ED FY 2001 ending balance was $161,539,065. Adjustments of $4,891 increased FY 2002 beginning balance to $161,543,956.

 10. EPA beginning balance of FY 2002 differs from ending balance of FY 2001 due to post reporting period adjustments. 

 11. FEMA’s FY 2002 beginning balance refl ects increase of $787 that was inadvertently omitted in the FY 2001 ending balance.

 12. HHS opening balance is adjusted as a result of amended management decisions. 

 13. NASA’s FY 2002 beginning balance refl ects DCAA adjustments for revised audit fi ndings and recommendations. 

 14. OPM’s $128,873,099 includes $63.9 million that resulted from audit reports and investigative efforts. This $63.9 million also is reported in the 

Table X. PCIE and ECIE—Receivables and Recoveries from Successful Investigations, but is included only once in calculating potential IG 

community savings.

 15. SBA beginning balance for FY 2002 differs from the ending balance of FY 2001 because the management decision for $485,051 in questioned 

costs was signed in an earlier reporting period but was not recorded until after the FY 2001 report was issued.

 16. USDA ending balance for FY 2002 refl ects an increase of $1 for adjustment made between the fi rst and second semiannual periods during 

FY 2002, and a variance of $1,455,725 between beginning and ending balance because of inclusion of excess amounts.

Successful Criminal 

Prosecutions 

A prosecution is considered successful when the 

person or entity is convicted in Federal, state, local, 

or foreign government venues, or under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or is accepted for pretrial diversion agreements by DOJ, as a result of 

OIG activity. PCIE and ECIE member agencies had 

10,690 successful prosecutions in FY 2002, of which 

231 were based on joint investigations. 

As indicated in Figure 4, the number of successful 

criminal prosecutions steadily increased over the 

last 4 years. Statistics for FY 2001 and FY 2002 were 

consolidated using the methodology to eliminate 

duplicative reporting of casework involving multiple IGs. For consistency purposes, the statistics 

reported in A Progress Report to the President, FY 1999

were adjusted to include those prosecutions where 

the OIG was actively involved in the case. Prior to 

FY 2000, these statistics would include successful 

criminal prosecutions where the OIG had an oversight responsibility of the investigative activities of 

another organization, as defi ned by the IG Act, as 

amended, but no active involvement in the case.

Civil Actions 

Civil actions are the total number of matters arising 

from OIG investigations, audits, and reviews other 

than criminal prosecutions that are successfully 

resolved during the year. They include (1) civil 

judgments or forfeitures in favor of the U.S. government fi led in Federal, state, local, or foreign government venues; (2) settlements negotiated by a prosecuting authority prior to or following the fi ling 

of a formal civil complaint; or (3) judgments, settlements, or agreements reached based on the Program 

Fraud Civil Remedies Act (PFCRA), civil money 

penalties, or other agency-specifi c civil litigation 

authority. Suspensions/debarments and personnel 

actions are not included as civil actions, but are 

reported separately, beginning on page 38. In 

FY 2002, PCIE and ECIE member agencies had 

573 civil actions, six of which resulted from joint 

investigations.

Investigative Receivables and 

Recoveries 

Investigative receivables and recoveries are based 

on the total dollar value of: 

A) Criminal cases —the amount of restitution, criminal fi nes, and/or special assessments based on a 

criminal judgment or established through a pretrial diversion agreement. 

B) Civil cases—the amount of damages, penalties, 

and/or forfeitures resulting from judgments 

issued by any court (Federal, state, local, military, or foreign government) in favor of the U.S. 

government; or the amount of funds to be repaid 

to the U.S. government based on any negotiated 

settlements by a prosecuting authority; or the 

amount of any assessments and/or penalties 

imposed, based on actions brought under the 

PCFRA, civil money penalties, or other agencyspecifi c civil litigation authority, or settlement 

agreements negotiated by the agency while proceeding under any of these authorities. 

C) Voluntary repayments—the amount of funds 

repaid on a voluntary basis or funds repaid 

based on an agency’s administrative processes, 

by a subject of an OIG investigation, or the value 

of offi cial property recovered by an OIG during 

an investigation, before prosecutive action is 

taken; any of which result from a case in which 

an OIG has an active investigative role. 

In FY 2002, PCIE and ECIE member agencies 

tallied investigative receivables and recoveries totaling over $4.6 billion, of which $16.2 million resulted 

from joint investigations.

A Final NoteÖ

On November 25, 2002, the President signed into law the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002, creating the new Cabinet-level 

Department of Homeland Security. The Department’s creation 

is the largest reorganization of government agencies, personnel, 

programs, and operations since 1947, when the various branches 

of the armed forces were merged to create the Department 

of Defense. The Homeland Security Act merged 22 previously 

separate Federal agencies and programs into one department. 

This new department was designed to bridge the communication 

and accountability gaps that previously existed among Federal 

agencies and programs. At the same time, the Department of 

Homeland Security, even with its multiple components, will still 

be just one of many players with important roles and responsibilities for ensuring homeland security. Homeland security will 

require the involvement of a myriad of agencies in the Federal, 

state, local, and private sectors. 

These changes to the government landscape provide the 

Inspector General community a unique opportunity to rethink 

our approaches and priorities to address the emerging fi scal, 

technological, human capital, economic, political, and other challenges of the 21st century, and to fulfi ll our mission of promoting 

economical, effi cient, and effective government. We welcome this 

opportunity and stand ready to serve.
