The Office of Investigations (OI) conducts and/or
coordinates investigations relating to monetary or
material losses occurring in U.S. Government Printing
Office programs and operations. These investigations
may include contractors, program participants, and/or
GPO officials and other employees.
The OI's independent, or joint investigations
with Federal or non-Federal investigative agencies,
may result in criminal prosecution, civil proceedings
and/or imposition of administrative sanctions. Prosecutions
may result in court imposed prison terms, probation,
fines, and/or restitution.
The OI continues an aggressive
effort to detect, prevent, and investigate the loss
of Government assets. The OI reviews Federal and GPO
programs susceptible to fraud, waste and abuse in
coordination with the Office of Audits. In addition,
the OI seeks to recover monetary funds and investigative
costs payable directly to the GPO as part of criminal
and civil adjudications, or through administratively
negotiated settlements.
