Overview

The OIG is located in Tallahassee and provides coverage from this central location. The Office of Inspector General was created as part of the Inspector General Act of 1994, which created an Office of Inspector General in each state agency "as a central point for coordination of and responsibility for activities that promote accountability, integrity, and efficiency in government."

Section 20.055, F.S., defines the duties and responsibilities of agency inspectors' general as follows:

Providing direction for and coordinating audits, investigations, and management reviews relating to the programs and operations of the agency.

Keeping the agency head informed concerning fraud, abuses, and deficiencies relating to programs and operations administered or financed by the state agency, recommending corrective action concerning fraud, abuses, and deficiencies, and reporting on the progress made in implementing corrective action.

Reviewing the actions taken by the state agency to improve program performance and meet program standards and making recommendations for improvement, if necessary.

Advising in developing performance measures, standards, and procedures for evaluating agency programs; reviewing actions taken by the agency to improve performance to meet program standards.

Ensuring an appropriate balance between audit, investigative, and other accountability activities is maintained.
