| The OlG Work Plan sets forth various projects to be addressed during
the fiscal year by the Office of Audit Services, Office of Evaluation and Inspections,
Office of Investigations, and Office of Counsel to the Inspector General. The Work
Plan includes projects planned in each of the Department's major entities: the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services; the public health agencies; and the Administrations
for Children, Families, and Aging. Information is also provided on projects related
to issues that cut across departmental programs, including State and local government
use of Federal funds, as well as the functional areas of the Office of the Secretary.
Some of the projects described in the Work Plan are statutorily required, such as the
audit of the Department's financial statements, which is mandated by the Government
Management Reform Act.
The OIG does not provide additional details on jobs to be undertaken or information
on the status of jobs contained in its Work Plan. Additionally, because of changing
workloads,
the OIG is not able to provide an estimated issue date for a specific report. |
