Statement of Andrew Oosterbaan, Assistant Inspector General for Investigations Department of Homeland Security, before the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee— Oversight and Management Efficiency Subcommittee and Transportation Security Subcommittee concerning, “How Pervasive is Misconduct at TSA: Examining Findings from a Joint Subcommittee Investigation.”

My testimony will focus on the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) role in investigating misconduct at TSA and the important role that whistleblowers play in bringing waste, fraud, and abuse to the attention of our office. In addition, I will address a particular OIG investigation regarding the award of TSA bonuses that has been of interest to this panel and mention a few other investigations as examples of our work related to TSA.

Through the Inspector General Act of 1978 (IG Act), Congress established Inspectors General, in part, in response to concerns about integrity and accountability and failures of other forms of government oversight.. Read Entire Testimony.
