OIG Testimonies

Senior OIG staff are often requested to provide expert testimony to oversight committees of the Congress. These hearings are intended to bring problems to the forefront so that the Congress can take action to correct problem situations. Oversight committees play an important role in examining the impact of issues from all sides, that is, from the program manager to the program recipients. These various perspectives help the Congress in making determinations of the need for new or revised legislation.
