A Progress Report to the President, Fiscal Year 2007. The report summarizes key activities and accomplishments of the Federal Inspector General community during the last fiscal year: “As we reflect on the fiscal year (FY) 2007 activities of the 64 Federal OIGs, several basic themes emerge. First, in carrying out their mission, individual OIGs achieved impressive results within their own agencies and in partnership with agency management to address issues of national and international significance. Second, the OIGs successfully met common challenges as they conducted work pursuant to several significant statutory mandates, among those the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act, Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA), and the Reports Consolidation Act of 2000. Third, in addition to individual OIG successes, OIGs benefited greatly from collaborating with one another to successfully pursue issues of common interest. In countless instances, OIGs joined forces and leveraged their expertise to tackle issues crossing agency boundaries and had a stronger impact than they might have had if working alone. And finally, in the interest of enhancing the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of their own internal operations, OIGs from across the government engaged in various activities, including information sharing and best practices exchanges, working groups, and other learning forums.”
