Mission

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducts independent and objective audits, inspections, evaluations, investigations, and other reviews related to the programs and operations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) and the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau). Through this work, the OIG promotes integrity, economy, efficiency, and effectiveness; helps prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse; and strengthens the agencies’ accountability to Congress and the public. Through our oversight role, the OIG supports

• the Board in fostering the stability, integrity, and efficiency of the nation's monetary, financial, and payment systems to promote optimal macroeconomic performance; and

• the Bureau in implementing and enforcing federal consumer financial protection law to ensure that consumers have access to fair, transparent, and competitive financial markets, products, and services.
