Summary:

This report reviews the handling of allegations of misconduct made against senior officials between 1990 and 1995 at the 28 Offices of Inspector General (OIG) with a presidentially appointed Inspector General. Members of Congress have raised concerns about how the President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency and the OIG have handled allegations against senior OIG officials. GAO discusses whether the Council or the OIGs had policies and procedures for handling such allegations and whether the allegations and resulting investigations were handled according to these policies and procedures. Executive Order No. 12993--"Administrative Allegations Against Inspectors General"--was signed in March 1996, and GAO notes its effect on the handling of allegations against Inspectors General and their senior staff.
