Summary:

Like other entities across the federal government, many Offices of Inspector General (OIGs) receive at least a portion of their operating funds via the annual appropriations process and, therefore, may be subject to shutdowns caused by lapses in those appropriations. This Insight provides a broad overview, with examples, of how OIGs might be affected by shutdowns and a recent congressional proposal that would ensure consistent OIG oversight of those activities that continue during a shutdown.
