Not everyone knows what an Inspector General (IG) does, but surely Americans of all ideologies can get behind their stated mission: to improve the integrity, efficiency, and effectiveness of government. The 72 IGs throughout the federal government oversee vastly different agencies, but each carries out similar functions, including conducting audits of government programs, investigating fraud both within and outside agencies, reviewing contract, personnel, and management practices, and guarding against waste, fraud, and abuse in all activities of the agency they oversee.
