The Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (IC IG) was established within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) by the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. The IC IG's organizational divisions include Audit, Investigations, Inspections and Evaluations, Mission Support Division, the Center for Protected Disclosures, and Counsel to the Inspector General.

Duties

In support of its mission, the I&E Division conducts oversight of programs and activities within the Director of National Intelligence's (DNI) responsibility and authority. The I&E Division conducts systematic and independent inspections and evaluations of ODNI components and Intelligence Community (IC) elements in accordance with the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) Quality Standards for Inspection and Evaluation, which provides flexibility to develop tailored approaches for determining efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability of agency operations, programs, or policies. The I&E Division issues inspection, evaluation, and special review reports that are factual and contain evidence-based findings that are timely, credible, and useful for managers and other stakeholders. Conclusions drawn from findings generate recommendations for decision-makers to streamline operations, reduce unnecessary regulations, improve customer service, and minimize inefficient and ineffective procedures. They also improve the performance and integration of the ODNI and the broader IC. The I&E Division's multidisciplinary staff typically analyze information; measure performance; determine compliance with applicable law, regulation, and/or policy; identify savings and funds put to better use; share best practices or promising approaches; and assess allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement.

Assist the development and presentation of oral briefings for senior ODNI and IC leadership regarding findings and the status of complex inspections and evaluations. Monitor and assess the progress of corrective measures taken by senior ODNI and IC leadership, and provide substantive advice and innovative solutions to senior officials regarding implementation of recommendations.
