Office of Inspector General
	
	
				
	
	
	The **Office of Inspector General (OIG)** provides independent and objective audits and investigations relating to ARC’s programs and operations, and keeps the Commission and Congress fully informed about any problems or deficiencies at the Commission.
In addition, the OIG provides leadership and coordination, recommends policies to prevent and detect fraud and abuse, and promotes economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in agency programs and operations. The OIG has statutory authority to subpoena or otherwise obtain all records, files, reports, documents, or materials needed to conduct audits, inspections, and investigations.
