Why We Did This Report

In November 2025, while planning for future grant audits, an OIG audit team could not find the 2021-2025 plan among the EPA’s online resources and inquired about it with the Office of Finance and Administration. Following that inquiry, the EPA made an updated 2021-2025 plan with changes publicly available through its grants web page. 

Summary of Findings

The updated plan does not note that the EPA changed the original publication. As a result, readers could erroneously conclude that the updated plan 1) is the same plan released by the former acting assistant administrator whose name and photograph appear on the foreword and 2) accurately reflects the message of the 21 Agency senior resource officials named in the plan.

This report provides an overview of the work of the Office of Inspector General during the period of October 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026.
