Semiannual Report to Congress - April 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022

This report was submitted to the Comptroller General in accordance with Section 5 of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) Act of 2008. The report summarizes the activities of GAO’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the six-month reporting period ending September 30, 2022. During the reporting period, the OIG initiated work on two performance audits and continued work on an additional performance audit. In addition, the OIG closed seven investigations and opened 22 new investigations. The OIG processed 75 substantive hotline complaints, many of which were referred to other OIGs for action because the matters involved were within their jurisdictions. The OIG remained active in the GAO and OIG communities by briefing new GAO employees on its audit and investigative missions, briefing GAO teams on the work of the GAO OIG, and participating in Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency committees and working groups, including those related to the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee.
