  • Lead Inspector General for Operation Freedom's Sentinel April 1, 2021
    OFS REPORT TO CONGRESS FRONT MATTER OPERATION FREEDOM’S SENTINEL LEAD INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT TO THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS APRIL 1, 2021–JUNE 30, 2021 FRONT MATTER ABOUT THIS REPORT A 2013 amendment to the Inspector General Act established the Lead Inspector General (Lead IG) framework for oversight of overseas contingency operations and requires that the Lead IG submit quarterly reports to Congress on each active operation. The Chair of the Council of Inspectors General for Integrity and Efficiency designated the DoD Inspector General (IG) as the Lead IG for Operation Freedom’s Sentinel (OFS). The DoS IG is the Associate IG for the operation. The USAID IG participates in oversight of the operation. The Offices of Inspector General (OIG) of the DoD, the DoS, and USAID are referred to in this report as the Lead IG agencies. Other partner agencies also contribute to oversight of OFS. The Lead IG agencies collectively carry out the Lead IG statutory responsibilities to: • Develop a joint strategic plan to conduct comprehensive oversight of the operation. • Ensure independent and effective oversight of programs and operations of the U.S. Government in support of the operation through either joint or individual audits, inspections, investigations, and evaluations. • Report quarterly to Congress and the public on the operation and activities of the Lead IG agencies. METHODOLOGY To produce this quarterly report, the Lead IG agencies submit requests for information to the DoD, the DoS, USAID, and other Federal agencies about OFS and related programs. The Lead IG agencies also gather data and information from other sources, including official documents, congressional testimony, policy research organizations, press conferences, think tanks, and media reports.

  • OIG Fys 2019-2020 Spotlights on Success
    UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED OIG-EX-21-03 UNCLASSIFIED MESSAGE FROM THE ACTING INSPECTOR GENERAL I am pleased to present the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Spotlights on Success for Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020. In this inaugural publication, we highlight some of the success stories we discovered while conducting the inspections of 43 embassies and bureaus over the past two fiscal years. Part of our mission is to increase collaboration to maximize the benefits of OIG’s work. In highlighting successful projects and processes throughout the world, we encourage others to adopt practices that have already been Matthew S. Klimow tested and have enjoyed positive results. We began to highlight innovative practices in 2014 but it was not until FY 2017 that we formally started calling them “Spotlights on Success” and included them in more inspection reports on a consistent basis. One of our primary missions is to prevent and detect waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in the programs and operations of the Department. By highlighting those things that have worked well in the Department, we seek to increase good governance, efficiency and encourage positive change. This publication includes 38 Spotlights on Success from five different regional bureaus, and four domestic operations. Several embassies had multiple entries, with Embassy Nairobi being credited with six Spotlights on Success. The spotlights are categorized by topics reviewed and presented in OIG’s inspection reports. Additionally, several of the success stories fall under management challenge categories that are identified in a companion publication, Inspector General Statement on the Department of State’s Major Management and Performance Standards Fiscal Year 2020.
