Government - Washington, DC, US
We provide independent oversight of two federal agencies: • The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System • The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Our mission: improve the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of their programs and operations and prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse.Our audits and evaluations assess the agencies' programs and operations, including their supervision of financial institutions, their compliance with laws and regulations, and their internal operations. Our reports explain why we conducted the review, what issues we found, and how the agency can correct them. In addition, we investigate wrongdoing by agency employees, contractors, or any person or entity related to the agencies' programs and operations. We also investigate wrongdoing that hinders the agencies' ability to supervise financial institutions within their jurisdictions—for example, if a bank provides false information to agency regulators. If you have any information about such wrongdoing, visit our website to file a report with our hotline at https://oig.federalreserve.gov/hotline.htm.
