The nonprofit and nonpartisan Association of Inspectors General (AIG) supports independent offices of inspector general in their fight to combat government waste, fraud and abuse. AIG represents thousands of members working in hundreds of offices of Inspector General across the United States and internationally.
The mission of the Association of Inspectors General is to advance integrity and accountability in government across all 50 states, U.S. territories and internationally, and to promote excellence among independent offices of inspector general. AIG advocates for governmental entities to embrace the inspector general model as an effective tool to combat waste, fraud and abuse—and protect taxpayers’ investment in local government.
We achieve this through the following:
Establishing and encouraging adherence to industry quality standards (AIG Green Book)
Certifying individuals working in the inspector general community through specialized professional trainings and licensing
Sponsoring professional development opportunities throughout the year for AIG members and non-members, including the AIG Annual Training Conference
Issuing position papers that analyze and advocate for independence and legal standards across the inspector general industry
Supporting AIG member offices in governmental and external relations
Coordinating peer reviews of AIG member offices to ensure ongoing compliance with established policies, industry standards, and local statutes and ordinances
AIG’s work is guided by the core principles of accountability, integrity, transparency, collaboration, professionalism and public service.
