FY 2026 EEOC MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES

In accordance with the Reports Consolidation Act of 2000, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) 
is required to report in the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC or Agency)
Agency Financial Report what we have determined to be the most serious management and 
performance challenges facing the Agency. This statement provides our views on the Agency’s 
management challenges for fiscal year (FY) 2026. Due to the Office of Management and Budget’s
direction on the Agency Financial Report due date, the OIG had less time than expected to prepare 
this statement. We were unable to obtain and verify the Agency’s latest updates to year-end 
information. Nevertheless, we believe the Management Challenges capture the most important 
hurdles facing EEOC in FY 2026.
