Inspector Generals gutted, and you want to worry about problems revealed by audits? - ges

IG's who are employees of the Department they audit is a big problem. I like DFope's idea for a separate IG Corp who are free to make recommendations without risking their pension, or that aside, we the people will actually see the reports rather than them being bottled up or sanitized by the agency under audit.

Auditors are good, but 17 are not nearly enough, you need at least that many just to wade through the DOD. We could start with 100 IG positions and add more later as needed. Their work is important, especially if they are empowered to ask not only for the numbers but can also document the justifications behind some of them. They can continue and build upon the processes pioneered by DOGE.
