National Endowment for the Arts OIG
The OIG investigates reports of waste, fraud, and mismanagement, and whistleblower retaliation involving funding for NEA programs and operations, and grant awards. As an agent of positive change, the OIG strives to promote improvements in NEA's operations and programs and in our own offices. To promote efficiency and effectiveness, we conduct independent and objective audits, investigations, and other activities. We assess and report on internal controls, financial management, information technology, and other systems that affect the operations of NEA programs and grantees.
