## Description

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) within the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is an independent office focused on ensuring the agency protects the environment efficiently and cost-effectively. Comprising auditors, program analysts, investigators, and experts, the OIG operates independently from the EPA with separate funding provided by Congress to maintain autonomy. Established under the Inspector General Act of 1978, the OIG conducts audits, evaluations, and investigations, providing evidence-based recommendations to enhance economy, efficiency, and effectiveness while combatting fraud, waste, abuse, and misconduct.

The OIG's vision is to be the leading oversight organization, promoting transparency, good governance, and contributing to improved human health and the environment. By engaging with EPA management, Congress, and other stakeholders, the OIG delivers detailed reports and semiannual reports to Congress, identifying critical EPA deficiencies and proposed corrective actions. Ultimately, the OIG aims to be a trusted source for truth and good governance, working towards a cleaner and healthier America.
