Office of Inspector General Semiannual Report to Congress FY 2018 - First Half
The Office of Inspector General is pleased to issue its Semiannual Report to Congress for the six month period ending March 31, 2018. This report highlights and summarizes significant audit, inspection, and investigative results during this reporting period that have strengthened programs and operations of the Commission.
During this period, we issued 16 audits and other reports that contained recommendations to improve Department programs and operations. In addition, we closed 39 investigations involving fraud or corruption, securing more than $18.5 million in restitution, settlements, fines, recoveries, forfeitures, and savings. As a result of this work, criminal actions were taken against a number of people, including current and former school officials and service providers who cheated students and taxpayers

The information omits recommendations that the Department of Justice determined to be classified or sensitive, and therefore unsuitable for public release.The status of each recommendation was accurate as of the specified date and is subject to change. Specifically, a recommendation identified as not closed as of the specified date may subsequently have been closed.
