OIG First Quarter Report 2015

Executive Summary

The mission of OIG is to promote economy, effectiveness, efficiency, and integrity in City government by rooting out corruption, waste, and mismanagement. OIG is a watchdog for the taxpayers of the City, and it has jurisdiction to conduct independent inquiries into most aspects of City government.

OIG accomplishes its mission through investigations, audits, and other reviews. OIG issues summary reports of investigations to the Mayor and appropriate City management officials, with investigative findings and recommendations for corrective action and discipline. Narrative summaries of sustained investigations are released in quarterly reports. OIG’s audit reports and advisories are directed to management officials for comment and then are released to the public through publication on the OIG website. OIG’s department notifications are sent to management officials for attention and comment and are summarized, along with any management response, in the ensuing quarterly report. Finally, OIG issues reports as required by the Hiring Plan and as otherwise necessary to carry out its hiring oversight functions.
