U.S. Department of Education Semiannual Report to Congress, No. 72, October 1, 2015–March 31, 2016
During this period, we completed 48 investigations involving fraud or corruption related to the Department’s programs and operations, securing more than $185.7 million in settlements, fines, recoveries, forfeitures, and savings. In addition, as a result of our investigative work, criminal actions were taken against a number of people, including school officials and service providers who cheated the students they werein positions to serve. We also issued 17 audit and other reports that contained recommendations to improve program operations.
The Inspector General Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-452), as amended, requires that the Inspector General report semiannually to the head of the Department and the Congress on the activities of the office during the 6-month periods ending March 31 and September 30. The semiannual reports are intended to keep the Secretary and the Congress fully and currently informed of significant findings and recommendations by the Office of Inspector General.
In accordance with our annual plan, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted a performance audit of the United States Capitol Police (USCP or Department) Training Services Bureau (TSB). The objectives of the audit were to determine if the Department (1) established adequate internal controls and processes for ensuring that TSB maintained the integrity of its program as well as efficient and effective program operations, and (2) complied with applicable laws, regulations, and guidance pertaining to management and operation of its training responsibilities. The scope of the audit included internal controls, processes, and operations from Fiscal Year FY 2011 through FY 2015.
