Issue Areas
Congress provided the OIG almost $100 million in the Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act (IIJA) and $10 million in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to oversee the DOI’s management of these funds. Learn how we are helping to safeguard these funds from fraud, waste, and abuse.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Indian Education provide services to 574 federally recognized tribes with a population of about 1.9 million American Indians and Alaska Natives. OIG oversight helps prevent fraud and mismanagement that diverts funds from those in need.
DOI has significant financial assets, including contracts, financial assistance awards (grants and cooperative agreements), property, and other resources. Within this broad area, we prioritize oversight work on grants and contracts, CARES Act, and spending under the Great American Outdoors Act.
