About Oversight.gov

The data presented in the slideshows on the Home and Investigations pages are from CIGIE’s Annual Progress Reports to the President, which present aggregate data about the annual accomplishments of Federal OIGs. This data is uploaded to Oversight.gov directly by CIGIE upon publication of a new annual report.

The data presented in the charts on the Home and Reports pages are from three sources:

• CIGIE’s Annual Progress Reports to the President, which present aggregate data about the annual accomplishments of Federal OIGs. This data is uploaded to Oversight.gov directly by CIGIE upon publication of a new annual report.
• OIGs’ Semiannual Reports, which present data about the semiannual accomplishments of individual OIGs. This data is uploaded to Oversight.gov by each OIG.
• Data from individual reports uploaded to Oversight.gov. This data is uploaded to Oversight.gov by each OIG.

When presenting this data in the charts on the Home and Reports pages, Oversight.gov presents data from CIGIE’s Annual Progress Reports to the President when that data is available. When it is not available, Oversight.gov presents an aggregation of the data uploaded by OIGs from their Semiannual Reports. For time periods for which no Semiannual Report is available from an OIG, or for information that is not contained in those Semiannual Reports, Oversight.gov presents an aggregation of data provided by OIGs from the individual reports those OIGs have uploaded to the site.

Because of this methodology, the information presented in the charts may change as new sources of data become available. Additionally, although CIGIE and the OIGs make every effort to ensure that the data presented on Oversight.gov is accurate, inadvertent errors or omissions may occur.

“Trending” reports are those reports that Oversight.gov visitors viewed most often in the last seven days.

In FY2019, Congress provided CIGIE with $2 million to further enhance the capabilities of Oversight.gov. Pub. L. No. 116-6, § 633. For details about CIGIE’s plans for this money and the enhancements that will result, please see CIGIE’s Oversight.Gov Enhancements Spending Plan.
