The Inspector General (IG) is the senior official responsible for establishing a clear vision and sense of purpose to ensure the effective execution of investigations, evaluations, and compliance initiatives aimed at combating and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse in DHS-funded programs. The IG ensures that necessary enforcement and prosecution activities are undertaken.
As part of this duty, the IG oversees the following divisions: Background Studies; Licensing; Program Integrity Oversight; Chief Legal Counsel; Digital Services, Analytics, and Insights; and Enterprise Operations and Policy. The IG provides strategic services and leadership to the Commissioner, Deputy Commissioners, Chief of Staff, and Senior Management Team.
The IG also provides high-level direction to DHS partners at the state, county, federal, and tribal levels on the conduct of fraud investigations and any related enforcement or prosecution actions. Based on the results of fraud investigations, the IG makes recommendations to DHS Assistant Commissioners on additional controls and program policy changes needed to reduce or prevent schemes to illegally appropriate agency funds.
