The OIG has two principal missions: to assist management in identifying ways to promote efficiency and effectiveness in the activities and operations of LSC and its grantees; and to prevent and detect fraud and abuse. The OIG's primary tool for achieving these missions is fact-finding through financial, performance and other types of audits, evaluations and reviews, as well as investigations into allegations of wrongdoing. The OIG's work at LSC focuses largely on reviewing LSC grantees, and as such, the Inspector General works cooperatively with LSC management on grantee oversight while simultaneously ensuring the OIG's independence.
