Section 1 – Purpose

1A – Description of Bureau Vision and Priorities 

The Treasury Office of Inspector General (OIG) provides independent oversight of the 

Department of the Treasury and all of its bureaus except the Internal Revenue Service 

and those activities related to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The OIG has 

two mission offices, the Office of Audit (OA) and the Office of Investigations (OI). 

The OIG’s requested funding will be used for critical audit and investigative resources. 

The OIG will continue to address mandated requirements related to audits of (1) the 

Department’s financial statements, (2) the Department’s implementation of the Federal 

Information Security Management Act (FISMA), and (3) failed institutions regulated by 

the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) or the Office of Thrift Supervision 

(OTS) resulting in material losses to the deposit insurance fund (material loss is defined 

as the greater of $25 million or 2 percent of the institution’s assets). To the extent that 

resources are available, the OIG will conduct audits of the Department’s highest risk 

programs and operations. Four of those programs and operations are discussed below. It 

should be noted that this list is not all inclusive and risks change over time and 

circumstance. 

Programs to Ensure the Safety and Soundness of the Nation’s Financial Markets – The 

wave of bank failures beginning in calendar year 2007 underscore the need for proactive 

audit coverage. Material loss reviews are a backward look at the quality of supervision. 

While material loss reviews are useful to identify and correct weaknesses in the 

supervisory process, OIG must also determine the effectiveness of regulators addressing 

emerging financial risks in real time. The subprime mortgage crises was a costly lesson 

that serves as a reminder that regulators need to anticipate, recognize, and control 

business practices that create unreasonable risk. 

Programs to Promote Economic Recovery - The Recovery Act provided Treasury with, 

among other things, approximately $4 billion for low-income housing projects and 

specified energy properties, of which the OIG has jurisdiction or joint jurisdiction with 

the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA). Additionally, the 

Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) received $100 million 

to supplement FY 2009 funding for qualified program applicants. This funding nearly 

doubled the amount available to the CDFI Fund through FY 2010. While the funds 

through the Recovery Act are available through FY 2010, oversight is necessary into FY 

2011 and into the future years. Treasury OIG initiated work at Departmental Offices and 

the CDFI Fund to review the controls over the Recovery Act funding. OIG will continue 

this work and determine whether the funds were spent as intended by the legislation. 

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

Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA). As of December 31, 2009, 

Treasury has one active responsibility involving the September 2008 decision to place 

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in conservatorship. This responsibility relates to Treasury’s 

agreement to purchase senior preferred stock in the companies as necessary to ensure 

OIG - 3 
each company maintains a positive net worth. In February 2009, Treasury announced that 

it was amending the preferred stock purchase agreements with the conservatorships from 

$100 billion to $200 billion each. This agreement was further amended on December 24, 

2009, to allow the cap on Treasury’s funding commitment to increase as necessary to 

accommodate any cumulative reduction in net worth over the next three years. At the 

conclusion of the three year period, the remaining commitment will then be fully 

available to be drawn down per the terms of the agreements. As of September 30, 2009, 

Treasury’s payments to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were $50.7 billion and $44.9 

billion, respectively. 

Treasury had two other responsibilities under HERA that expired on December 31, 2009. 

These responsibilities were to 1) establish a new secured lending credit facility that will 

be available to the two companies, as well as the Federal Home Loan Banks, for shortterm loans; and 2) initiate a temporary program to purchase new mortgage backed 

securities issued by the companies. As of the expiration date, the secured lending facility 

was never used and Treasury purchased approximately $225.5 billion in Mortgage 

Backed Securities. 

HERA also created the Capital Magnet Fund (CMF) to be administered by the CDFI 

Fund. The CMF was intended to be funded from a percentage of the unpaid principal 

balances of new business purchases by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The intent of the 

CMF is to provide CDFIs and eligible non-profits with capital to leverage activities 

related to affordable housing as well as ancillary economic development activities. In a 

July 2008 analysis, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that this could provide 

CDFIs with an additional $99 million in 2010; $156 million in 2011, and then annually at 

least $218 million in new grant funding. This represents a significant expansion of the 

CDFI Fund’s activities requiring OIG audit and investigative oversight. 

Programs to Combat Terrorist Financing and Money Laundering – 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. To effectively prevent and detect financial crimes and terrorist financing it is 

necessary (1) for financial institutions to ensure that business is conducted with 

reputable parties within strong control environments, and large currency transactions 

and suspicious activities are properly and timely reported, and (2) federal and state 

regulatory agencies examine and enforce BSA and USA Patriot Act requirements, and 

identify and refer law enforcement leads through strong analytical capability. 

While 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. 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 related violations. Furthermore, with the current distress facing many financial 

OIG - 4 
institutions both domestically and globally, there is an increased risk that compliance 

with BSA may have deteriorated further and may continue to worsen. For these 

reasons, this management challenge will continue to be a major focus of the OIG’s 

audit program. 

Treasury’s Management of Capital Investments – Treasury needs to ensure that 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 should give 

coverage to include a new electronic content management (ECM) system as well as to 

continue its oversight of the Department’s implementation of the Treasury Network 

(TNet), a new telecommunications system, which has already encountered significant 

delays. 

In addition to audit responsibilities, upcoming investigative priorities for FY 2011 

include: 

• Investigating complaints of alleged criminal and serious misconduct; 

• Investigating allegations of fraud and other crimes involving Treasury 

contracts, procurements, grants, guarantees (fictitious instruments), and 

federal funds; 

• Investigating a variety of financial programs, like those where fraud and other 

crimes are involved in the issuance of licenses or benefits provided to citizens; 

• Continue reviewing and investigating instances where mutilated 

currency and coin redemption programs are potentially being used to 

facilitate money laundering, structuring, and other unlawful activities;. 

• Proactive efforts in detecting, investigating, and deterring electronic 

crimes and other threats to the Department’s physical and cyber critical 

infrastructure. 

Resources required to support OIG operations for FY 2011 are $30,269,000 from direct 

appropriations, and $8,500,000 from reimbursable agreements for contract audits of other 

Treasury bureaus. 

Office of Inspector General’s Fiscal Year 2011 Budget Request 

In accordance with the Inspector General Act, as amended, the Treasury Inspector 

General submits the following information relating to the OIG’s requested budget for FY 

2011: 

• the aggregate budget request for the operations of the OIG is $30,269,000, 

• the portion of this amount needed for OIG training is $700,000, and 

• the portion of this amount needed to support the Council of Inspectors General on 

Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) is $62,000 

The amount requested for training satisfies all OIG training needs for fiscal year 2011. 

OIG - 5 
1B – Program History and Future Outlook 

In FY 2009, the OIG completed 68 audit products, completed 100 percent of statutory 

audits on time, reviewed 2,584 allegations, closed 100% of cases (8 judicial and 8 

non-judicial cases) opened, and had 92% of all cases accepted by prosecutors, referred 

for agency action, or closed during fiscal year, and completed within 18 months of 

case initiation. As the result of an increasing number of bank failures, the OIG has 

been required to dedicate significant resources to conduct mandated material loss 

reviews. The OIG has also dedicated resources to conduct oversight of Treasury’s 

Recovery Act funds. 

The OIG introduced two new measures in FY 2009. The target measures are: 70 percent 

of all cases closed during the fiscal year are to be referred for criminal/civil 

prosecution or Treasury administrative action; and 70 percent of all cases accepted by 

prosecutors, referred for agency action, or closed during the fiscal year and are to be 

completed within 18 months of case initiation. The measures provide a more reliable 

and qualitative measure of the OIG’s investigative accomplishments. 

In FYs 2010 and 2011 the OIG expects to complete 62 Audit products, complete all 

statutory audits on time, and meet or exceed the investigative measures.

3A – Audit ($23,306,000 from direct appropriations and $10,000,000 from 

reimbursable programs): The Office of Audit (OA) conducts audits provides firsthand, 

unbiased perspectives and recommendations for improving the economy, efficiency, and 

effectiveness of Treasury programs and operations under its jurisdiction. The OA 

produces more than 60 products annually. The OA has recently been challenged to keep 

up with an increasing number of bank failures that require dedicated resources to 

conduct mandated material loss reviews. For FY 2009 and FY 2010, the OA received 

additional funding to meet this requirement. The requested funding for FY 2011 is 

necessary to maintain a proper level of oversight of Treasury programs and operations, 

and to enable the OIG to continue to meet statutory timeframes for completing the 

increasing number of material loss reviews due to financial institution failures. 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.

Description of Performance: In FY 2009, the Office of Audit completed a total of 68 

audit products and completed all statutory audits by the required dates. The Office of 

Audit plans to complete 62 in FY 2011, though the number of required material loss 

reviews may impact the ability to meet the target. In FYs 2008 and 2009, the Office of 

Audit met its mandated audit requirements. 

3B – Investigations ($6,963,000 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 the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (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 

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 proactively investigating numerous incidences whereby individuals are using 

fraudulent promissory notes and bonds, containing the Secretary’s name and the U.S. 

Treasury lettering, and attempting to purchase real estate and vehicles. These schemes, 

which have become increasingly pervasive throughout the United States, are not only 

damaging to businesses, but are preying on vulnerable taxpayers during the economic 

recession. OIG’s requested funding would facilitate investigations that seek to frustrate 

continued occurrences of bank and economic fraud involving these schemes and help 

restore taxpayer confidence in Treasury institutions and programs.

Investigations undertook a thorough review of their performance measure methodology, 

and has developed better and more realistic measures with which to gauge their 

investigative performance. These new measures went into effect in FY 2009, and the Office 

of Investigations met or exceeded both measures. It is expected that the measures will be 

met or exceeded in FYs 2010 and 2011 as well. The first measure was discontinued after it

use hardware and software actively maintained by the manufacturers. IT funding also 

strengthens OIG’s entity-wide IT security program, with equipment designed for antivirus detection/protection, anti-spam detection, anti-spy detection, intrusion 

detection/prevention, monitoring and patch management, and disaster recovery. This 

ensures that the OIG IT infrastructure operates in a secure manner and that the 

information collected during audits and investigations of the Department’s operations and 

resources are not susceptible to computer attacks and terrorist activities. Maintaining the 

OIG IT infrastructure and its IT security program at an acceptable level requires on-going 

upgrades of tools and technologies. 

IT funding has also enhanced OIG’s ability to perform computer forensics during 

investigations and computer vulnerability scanning during audits of the Department’s IT 

operations and resources. Maintaining these capabilities requires on-going upgrades of 

tools and technologies.
