The OIG was created by the Government Printing Office Inspector General Act of 1988, Title II of Public Law 100-54 (October 18, 1988). Public Law 104-316, the General Accounting Office Act of 1996, provides that the GPO Inspector General conducts audits under the direction of the Joint Committee on Printing (JCP), and conducts annual audits of the GPO financial statements when requested by the JCP. The OIG continues an aggressive effort to detect, prevent, and investigate the loss of Government assets. The OIG reviews Federal and GPO programs susceptible to fraud, waste and abuse. In addition, the OIG seeks to recover monetary funds and investigative costs payable directly to the GPO as part of criminal and civil adjudications, or through administratively negotiated settlements. The OIG Office of Audits conducts independent and objective audits relating to GPO; provides leadership and coordination, and recommends policies to promote the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of GPO's programs, operations, and activities; and keeps the Public Printer and Congress fully and currently informed about problems and deficiencies relating to the administration and operations of the GPO. The OIG Office of Investigations (OI) conducts and coordinates investigations relating to employee misconduct and monetary or material losses occurring in GPO programs and operations. These investigations may include contractors, program participants, or GPO officials and other employees. Special Agents in the Office of Investigations are also designated as special police officers pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 317, and have full law enforcement authority on premises occupied or under the control of GPO and adjacent areas. The OIG Office of Administration and Inspections provides the IG with an alternate mechanism to traditional audit and investigative disciplines to assess GPO programs and activities. Additionally, the office assists the IG in responding to Congressional and management requests for assistance. The work of the office is characterized by rapid turnaround on reviews, which are normally limited to a single issue. This Office also assists the Inspector General with his administrative duties. |
