The American public demands accountability from the federal government. Since Congress created inspectors general (IGs) in 1978, IGs have identified billions of dollars in savings and brought to light some of the most egregious cases of abuses and malfeasance in our government’s history. But there are significant ways in which IGs can improve their role within agencies, work together across jurisdictions, and serve Congress more effectively.

On July 9 BPC’s Task Force on Oversight and the Inspectors General released recommendations to enhance and streamline executive branch oversight through the work of the IGs.
