This is a publication by GAO's Inspector General that concerns internal GAO operations. The report summarizes the activities of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the first reporting period of fiscal year 2015.

During this reporting period, OIG issued one evaluation report, provided one audit report to GAO for comment, and continued or began fieldwork on two audits and one evaluation engagement. OIG closed 8 investigations and opened 14 new investigations. OIG also processed 116 hotline complaints, which generally did not involve GAO's programs and operations. In addition, OIG staff remained active in the GAO and OIG communities through IG briefings to new GAO employees on the OIG's audit and investigative functions and participation on Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency committees and working groups. Details of these activities and other OIG accomplishments are provided in the accompanying report.
