The Semiannual Report to Congress summarizes the results of VA OIG oversight, provides statistical information, and lists all 103 oversight reports and other products issued from October 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025. During this reporting period, VA OIG audits, evaluations, investigations, inspections, and other reviews identified nearly $3.3 billion in monetary impact for a return on investment of $28 for every dollar spent. The OIG hotline received and triaged almost 17,200 contacts in the past six months—to help identify wrongdoing and address concerns with VA activities. Also, during the past six months, special agents opened 256 investigations and closed 213, with efforts leading to 144 arrests. Collectively, the OIG’s work also resulted in 598 administrative sanctions and corrective actions during the six-month reporting period.
