Understanding the Function of the Council of Inspectors General

By Dennis AuBuchon

First of all I discovered this government entity by accident and did not know that it existed. Searching through the information about this organization I discovered many interesting facts about their values, goals and mission along with other information. The information presented in this book will provide some interesting discussions after reading this book. We only hear about the IG in the Department of Justice but as discussed in this book there are many more since the organization was created. The information you the reader will learn about are the responsibilities and authority this entity has within the federal government.
This book will open some eyes as to the function of this unique organization and the broad authority it has been given. The question of who this organization reports to will also be discussed and it in and of itself is an interesting structure. It was created as an opportunity to help or oversee the functions of the executive department and their agencies. In addition this organization provides information as requested by Congress by various individuals which will also be presented and discussed.
I rarely applaud Congress for doing anything but the establishment of this organization and its responsibilities will turn some heads as to the involvement it has over the federal government as a whole. This organization was created as an independent group of individuals and the independence of it will be evaluated based on the operations which have taken place and the goals it has in place.
Much information is presented about the function and responsibility of this organization of inspector generals. The sometimes detailed information in many of the chapters is being provided so that information is not about what I think the organization does but from their own website. Many comments or suggestions and sometimes questions are included throughout the book. It is an organization which little if any information is provided to the public. This book is another book about the functions of the various organizations within the federal government so voters, specifically understand the operations of the federal government.
