Our Semiannual Report to Congress for the period October 1^st, 2012 through March 31^st, 2013

Summary: DHS OIG is required to compile and issue this Semiannual Report to Congress by the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended. The report is organized to reflect our organization and that of the Department of Homeland Security.  During this reporting period we completed significant audit, inspection, and investigative work to promote the economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and integrity of the Department’s programs and operations.

 

We have a dual reporting responsibility to both the Congress and the Department Secretary. During this reporting period, we continued our active engagement with Congress through extensive meetings, briefings, and dialogues with members of Congress, their staffs, and the Department’s authorizing and appropriations committees and subcommittees. We also testified before Congress on three occasions.  Access all FY 2013 Testimony.
