Project Announcement: Continuous Oversight of Selected DoD Transactions to Test Management Controls and Identify Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Within DoD Programs (Project No. D2026-D000AU-0036.000)

Audit

The purpose of this memorandum is to notify you of our ongoing efforts to review selected DoD transactions to test internal controls and identify fraud, waste, and abuse within DoD programs. The OIG originally announced this project in FY 2024. To ensure that current leadership is aware of these efforts we are reannouncing the project for FY 2026. Under the Inspector General Act of 1978, 5 U.S.C. §§ 401-424, as amended, we periodically review DoD transactions, such as health care payments and Government purchase card payments, to identify transactions that have indicators of fraud, waste, or abuse. We access various automated information systems and databases to gather and analyze this data and use it to make the appropriate follow-on inquiries. As a result of this work, we may initiate an audit or evaluation, make investigative referrals, or issue management advisories and other products depending on the nature of the issues that come to our attention.
