1B – Mission Priorities and Context

The Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, gives the OIG the authority and responsibility 

to (1) audit and investigate the Treasury Department’s programs and operations; (2) promote 

economy and efficiency and to detect and prevent fraud and waste in those programs and 

operations; and (3) keep the Secretary and Congress aware of problems and solutions.

The OIG provides independent oversight of the Department of the Treasury and all of its bureaus 

except the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and activities related to the Troubled Asset Relief 

Program (TARP). The OIG has five components, including three mission offices – the Office of 

Audit, the Office of Investigations, and the Office of Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) 

Program Oversight (funded through 2017).

Fiscal Year 2013 Priorities

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 President’s Budget request for the Treasury OIG will be used to fund 

critical audit, investigative and support activities to meet the requirements of the Inspector 

General Act of 1978, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (DoddFrank Act), the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), the Government 

Management Reform Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act , the Small Business Jobs Act of 

2010, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). Specific 

mandates include audits of the Department’s financial statements, the Department’s 

implementation of FISMA, and failed insured depositary institutions regulated by Treasury. 

With the resources available after mandated requirements are met, the OIG will conduct audits 

and investigations of the Department’s highest risk programs and operations, as reported through 

a memorandum from the Inspector General to Secretary Geithner on October 22, 2010. 
OIG - 4

These include:

 Programs that Support the Transformation of Financial Regulation

 Management of Treasury’s Authorities to Support and Improve the Economy

 Programs to Combat Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing/Bank Secrecy Act 

Enforcement

 Treasury’s Management of Capital Investments

Material Loss Reviews

The wave of bank failures that began in calendar year 2007 underscores the need for ongoing and 

proactive oversight in the banking area. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, Treasury 

OIG is required to perform a review of certain failures of Treasury-regulated insured depository 

institutions whose failures results in a statutorily-designated loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund. 

These Material Loss Reviews (MLRs) are a retrospective look at the quality of bank supervision, 

and help identify and correct weaknesses in the supervisory process. In addition, OIG must 

determine the effectiveness of regulators in addressing emerging financial risks in real time and 

prospectively. Prior to the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, MLRs were required for any 

failed institution with a loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund in excess of $25 million. Dodd-Frank 

raised the threshold to $200 million but added a new requirement for a limited review and 

reporting on all bank failures below the threshold. For 2012 and 2013, the threshold is reset to 

$150 million.

Since September 2007, 114 Treasury-regulated banks have failed, prompting 54 MLRs, 

including 43 that have been completed and 11 that are in progress as of December 31, 2011. In 

FY 2010, 53 Treasury-regulated depository institutions failed, 24 failed in FY 2011, and 1 has 

failed to date in FY 2012 (as of December 31, 2011). While failures have slowed significantly, 

the number of problem banks remains high. At the end of the third quarter of 2011, FDIC was 

tracking 844 problem banks industry-wide, up from 775 tracked during the same time period in 

2010 and 305 in 2009. As of November l, 2011, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency 

(OCC) was tracking 193 problem banks and thrifts.

With increasing frequency, auditors are discovering instances of suspected fraud by bank 

officials during MLRs and limited reviews of failed banks. These potential criminal violations 

are being referred to the Treasury OIG Office of Investigations for investigation. In each of the 

106 Treasury regulated bank failures since 2007, the average loss was $333.3 million. Because 

of the high number of failed and failing institutions, bringing to justice those individuals who 

commit these serious acts becomes a greater challenge. Without criminal prosecution, would-be 

criminals are not deterred from action. 

The OIG currently has one supervisor and four agents working bank fraud cases and anticipates 

additional MLR referrals, in addition to numerous self-initiated cases over the next several years. 

With available resources, OIG will strive to identify potential fraud occurring inside a bank prior 

to an irreversible closure. Early intervention into fraudulent banking activities will help prevent 

losses and deter systemic misconduct. 
OIG - 5

Programs that Support the Transformation of Financial Regulation 

The Dodd-Frank Act established the Council of Inspectors General on Financial Oversight 

(CIGFO) and designated the Treasury Inspector General as Chair. The Council has statutory 

requirements to provide oversight of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), which is 

chaired by the Treasury Secretary. In addition to providing leadership and staff support to the 

CIGFO, Treasury OIG expects to participate in working groups to oversee the promulgation and 

implementation of regulations establishing a process for designating non-financial institutions as 

systemically important financial institutions (SIFI) for heightened prudential supervision.

The Dodd-Frank Act also mandates Treasury OIG work jointly with the Federal Reserve Board 

(FRB) OIG and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) OIG to review and report every 

six months on the transfer of Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) functions to other federal 

banking agencies. At a minimum, this work is anticipated to continue through the end of FY 

2012. In addition, Treasury OIG was required to jointly oversee with the FRB OIG, the 

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau until a director was appointed. Work is also necessary at 

the OCC to ensure it effectively carries out its new responsibilities to supervise thrifts in addition 

to national banks.

Apart from CIGFO, the OIG has direct oversight responsibilities for three new and significant 

Treasury offices – the Office of Financial Research, the Federal Insurance Office and the Office 

of Minority and Women Inclusion. 

Management of Treasury’s Authorities to Support and Improve the Economy

The Recovery Act provided Treasury with approximately $24 billion in non-IRS funding for 

low-income housing projects and specified energy properties for which the OIG must provide 

oversight. Funds through the Recovery Act are available through FY 2013 and beyond for the 

specified energy properties program and will require continued oversight. The OIG will continue 

this work at Departmental Offices to determine whether the funds were spent as intended. The 

Treasury OIG is providing the only monitoring presence in the field by Treasury for this 

program. The OIG will also need to continue its oversight of the low-income housing program as 

funded projects are being brought on line. In addition, OIG anticipates a significant increase of 

related criminal investigations as Treasury continues to disburse these funds. 

Another area that requires vigorous oversight by the OIG is Treasury’s responsibilities under the 

Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA). During FY 2013, audit work is planned 

in the following areas:

 Treasury’s process used to monitor the financial agents it uses to administer its program 

activities related Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the Housing Finance Agency (HFA) 

Initiative Programs.

 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (PSPA) Program, the program that requires Treasury to 

provide funds to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac so they maintain a positive net worth. The 

amounts provided to date are $95.6 billion in FY 2009, $52.6 billion in FY 2010, and $47.5 

billion in FY 2011. These payments will be on-going until the entities return to a level of 

profitability that exceeds their dividend obligations to Treasury.
OIG - 6

 HFA Initiative Programs include the New Issue Bond Program ($15.3 billion) and the 

Temporary Credit and Liquidity Program ($8 billion). These programs include participation 

of over 90 state and local HFAs in an effort to support mortgage financing. 

Programs to Combat Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing/Bank Secrecy Act 

Enforcement

Treasury faces unique challenges in carrying out its responsibilities under the Bank Secrecy Act 

(BSA) and the USA Patriot Act to prevent and detect money laundering and terrorist financing. 

While the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is the Treasury bureau responsible 

for administering BSA, it relies on other Treasury and non-Treasury agencies to enforce 

compliance with the Act’s requirements. Similarly, the Office of Foreign Assets Control 

(OFAC), the Treasury office responsible for administering U.S. foreign sanction programs, also 

relies on other Treasury and non-Treasury agencies to ensure compliance with OFAC 

requirements. Past audits and Congressional hearings have surfaced serious regulatory gaps in 

the detection of and/or timely enforcement action against financial institutions for BSA and 

OFAC violations. Moreover, with continued distress in many financial institutions both 

domestically and globally, there is an increased risk that compliance with BSA and OFAC 

requirements may have deteriorated even further. These programs will continue to be a major 

focus of the OIG’s audit program.

OIG’s investigative focus on unlicensed and unregistered money services business has resulted 

in over 500 potential investigative leads since October 2010. Money services business 

registration with FinCEN is a critical part of the government's efforts against money laundering, 

terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. Registration and licensing is critical to preventing 

and deterring money transmitters/remitters from being misused to illegally move money. The 

OIG currently receives approximately 20 additional leads in this area per month. With current 

resources, the OIG has seven agents assigned to these leads, with each investigating 8-10 leads 

per year. In the future, OIG will work with other law enforcement partners to identify and 

prosecute those who are violating these laws and assess this program for deficiencies and 

weaknesses.

The Financial Management Service’s Check Forgery Insurance Fund (CFIF) generates 

approximately 1,000 plus potential criminal cases each month based on the number of Treasury 

checks that do not reach their intended recipient as the result of potential fraud. Since August 

2010, more than 8,000 Treasury checks totaling nearly $12 million have negatively impacted the 

CFIF fund. Since 2008, nearly 42,000 Treasury checks have impacted the CFIF fund. CFIF 

losses and potential recoveries for the investigations conducted since August 2011 is over 

$420,000. 

Each special agent assigned to investigate CFIF allegations generates approximately 10-12 

arrests per year which has a significant deterrent effect on others – often part of the same family 

– who are part of a scheme that is passed on to the next generation. Potential restitution from 

single cases could range anywhere from $20,000-100,000 a year (per agent) to the CFIF and 

potentially much larger amounts of fraud recovery to other agencies both within and outside of 

Treasury. For instance, some ongoing criminal cases should result in recoveries/cost savings to 

the government ranging from $300,000 up to more than $14 million. 
OIG - 7

Finally, Treasury OIG has seen a significant increase in threats against Treasury employees, 

facilities and resources, and contract facilities and employees, a majority of which are related to 

the current economic concerns. These investigations require extensive manpower, a thorough 

assessment and a timely response, which impacts other priority investigative cases. 

Treasury’s Management of Capital Investments

Treasury must ensure that the hundreds of millions of dollars being expended on large 

acquisitions of systems and other capital investments are properly managed. The Department’s 

record in this regard has been mixed, at best. The OIG must continue its oversight of FinCEN’s 

BSA Information Technology Modernization program; the Treasury Network (TNet), and 

investments in systems for the Office of Financial Research in support of the FSOC. 

In addition to audit responsibilities, OIG investigative priorities for FY 2013 include:

 Investigating complaints of alleged criminal and serious misconduct by Department 

employees and contract employees; 

 Investigating allegations of fraud and other crimes involving Treasury contracts, 

procurements, grants, guarantees (fictitious instruments), and federal funds ; and

 Proactive efforts in detecting, investigating, and deterring electronic crimes and other threats 

to the Department’s physical and cyber critical infrastructure.

The OIG will also continue to provide audit and investigative oversight over two new Treasury 

programs—the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) and State Small Business Credit Initiative 

(SSBCI). The SBLF is a $30 billion fund that is used by Treasury to inject capital into small and 

medium banks with incentives to encourage them to increase their lending. The SSBCI provides 

Treasury with $1.5 billion to support state programs designed to increase access to credit for 

small businesses. To ensure proper oversight of the SBLF, in 2010 OIG established the SBLF 

Program Oversight Office headed by a Special Deputy Inspector General with responsibility for 

all audit and investigative activities relating to the program and for recommending program 

improvements. Congress also directed the OIG to audit the use of SSBCI funds by participating 

states and required Treasury to recoup any misused funds identified by such audits. To comply 

with its mandates, the OIG will continue to assess Treasury’s implementation of the two 

programs, continually monitor recipient compliance with program requirements and use of 

funds, and evaluate the impact of these programs on small business lending.

Future Outlook

Treasury is a complex agency with many programs and operations that are vital to the Nation’s 

economic and national security. Many of these programs and operations are thinly resourced and 

the OIG is often the only Treasury presence providing on-site verification and quality control. 

Because the budget is nearly 75 percent for salaries and related expenses, the OIG has few, if 

any, opportunities to internally achieve efficiencies that would lead to significant cost savings. 

The OIG has already taken measures to make more effective use of its leased facilities and 

reduce the size of its investigative vehicle fleet, including converting that fleet to a less 

expensive/greener carbon footprint. The OIG operates with little contractor support and 

maintains a very basic IT infrastructure. The only specialized applications are an off-the-shelf 

electronic audit work paper system and an investigative case tracking system; both mature 
OIG - 8

systems. Staff levels must be maintained to ensure mandatory and critical oversight and 

investigative work is completed.

While Treasury OIG expects fewer failed banks in the future, resources continue to be necessary 

to meet the demand of both MLR work and limited reviews in FY 2013, as well as other critical 

oversight activities. To date, OIG has initiated 43 limited reviews – 28 in FY 2010 and 15 in FY 

2011 to date. In addition, the current $200 million threshold prompting an MLR will decrease to 

$150 million for and 2013. We estimate that a typical MLR requires approximately 3000 staff 

hours or 1.5 FTE over a 5-6 month period. Limited reviews require approximately 50 staff 

hours over a 3 month period. For FY 13, Treasury OIG currently projects 2-3 MLRs and 30-40 

limited reviews, assuming continued economic recovery. This equates to 4 to 5.5 FTE. 

Resources currently used for MLRs will be diverted to new mandates, ongoing oversight of high 

risk Treasury programs and operations, and new vital initiatives in the investigative arena.

Office of Inspector General’s Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Request

In accordance with the Inspector General Act, the Treasury Inspector General submits the 

following information relating to the OIG’s requested budget for FY 2013:

 The aggregate budget request for the operations of the OIG is $43,993,000 comprised of 

$28,593,000 from direct appropriation, and $15,400,000 from reimbursable collections,

 The portion of this amount needed for OIG training is $600,000, and

 The portion of this amount needed to support the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity 

and Efficiency (CIGIE) is $60,000.

The amount requested for training satisfies all OIG training needs for fiscal year 2013.

Section 3 – Budget and Performance Report and Plan

3A – Audit

($22,016,000 from direct appropriations, and $15,400,000 from reimbursable resources): 

The Office of Audit conducts audits, provides firsthand, unbiased perspectives and 

recommendations for improving the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of Treasury 

programs and operations under its jurisdiction. The Office produces more than 60 products 

annually. The requested funding for FY 2013 is necessary to perform mandated work and 

maintain a minimally appropriate level of oversight of Treasury programs and operations 

consistent with its responsibilities under the Inspector General Act. The OIG also responds to 

requests by Treasury officials and the Congress for specific work. Reimbursable funding 

supports agreements for contract audits of other Treasury bureaus, as well as oversight of the 

Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) and the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) 

programs. SBLF/SSBCI program oversight and expected performance is detailed in the 

SBLF/SSBCI Program Office budget submission. 

Description of Performance:

In FY 2011, the Office of Audit completed a total of 126 audit products, a significant one-time 

increase over the target largely attributable to the elimination of the MLR backlog and the new 

requirement to review all Treasury-related bank failures with losses under the MLR threshold. 

The Office plans to complete 70 audit products in FYs 2012 and 2013. In FY 2011, the Office 

met its new mandated audit requirements.

3B – Investigations

($6,577,000 from direct appropriations): 

The Office of Investigations prevents, detects and investigates complaints of fraud, waste and 

abuse. This includes the detection and prevention or deterrence of employee misconduct and 

fraud, or related financial crimes within or directed against Treasury. The Office refers its cases 

to the Department of Justice, state or local prosecutors for criminal prosecution or civil litigation, 

or to agency officials for corrective administrative action. Additionally, investigative oversight 

also extends to that of performing quality assurance reviews of the Treasury’s police operations 

at BEP and the U.S. Mint.

With the increased risk of the Recovery Act grant programs for low-income housing and specific 

energy properties, the Office of Investigations faces greater challenges and anticipated increases 

in grant fraud and the need to identify strengths and weaknesses in Community Development 

Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund. Compliance and oversight of dispersed grant funds to ensure 

that CDFI funds provided are being used in accordance with the grant award. 

The OIG is also actively investigating numerous allegations in conjunction with failed banks. 

Description of Performance:

In FY 2011, the OIG exceeded the Investigative Performance Measure target, opened 84 new 

investigations and closed 68 investigations. The OIG also referred 100 percent of investigations 

that substantiated administrative violations against a Treasury employee to the appropriate 

regulated bureau for action. In addition, the OIG referred 83 investigations for criminal 

prosecution. The OIG received investigative referrals regarding potential criminal misconduct 

that occurred prior to or during bank failures, and has worked criminal investigations with the 

FDIC Office of Inspector General (FDIC OIG) and the OIG Office of Audit regarding potential 

prosecution of acts which may have contributed to the bank failures.
