Quarterly Report: Fourth Quarter 2024

Executive Summary

OIG’s mission is to promote economy, effectiveness, efficiency, and integrity in the administration of programs and the operation of City government. OIG accomplishes its mission through investigations of allegations of misconduct, performance audits, evaluations and reviews, data analysis and visualization, and other inquiries.

When OIG investigates and sustains allegations of misconduct, it issues summary reports of investigations to the appropriate authority, City management officials, and/or the Mayor’s Office, with investigative findings and recommendations for corrective action and discipline. Narrative summaries of sustained administrative investigations, i.e., those typically involving violations of the City’s Personnel Rules, Debarment Rules, and Ethics Ordinance–and the resulting department or agency actions–are released in quarterly reports. OIG’s investigations resulting in criminal sanctions or civil recovery actions are summarized in quarterly reports following public action (e.g., indictment) and updated in ensuing quarterly reports as court developments warrant.
