Book excerpt: This Semiannual Report of the Office of Inspector General (QIG) details some of our most significant accomplishments for the period April 1, 2000-September 30, 2000. During this period, the QIG continued to direct its audit, evaluation, and investigation resources to activities that support our strategic plan goals. Our focus has been to effect positive change and reduce vulnerabilities in departmental programs and operations, produce a positive return on invested resources, and provide quality services to stakeholders. OIG audits, investigations, and evaluations conducted during this period resulted in over $15.7 million in questioned costs; nearly $18.1 million in recommendations that funds be put to better use; 117 indictments; 110 convictions; and over $66.4 million in investigative recoveries, restitution, fines, and penalties.
