2025 Fall DLC: Intro to GPO’s Inspector General: Resources for FDLP Libraries

Established by the GPO Inspector General Act of 1988, the Office of the Inspector General conducts independent audits, inspections, and investigations of GPO programs and offers an independent and objective means of keeping the Director of the GPO and Congress fully informed about problems and deficiencies relating to the agency’s administration and operations. Three divisions are responsible for fulfilling the OIG mission: Audits Division, Inspections/Program Analyses Division, and Investigations Division. In this session we will discuss the OIG mission, and how to report suspected wrongdoing to the OIG. We will also discuss examples of cases and fraud at GPO and how to be aware of fraud indicators.
