At the center of his testimony, Inspector General Missal outlined how the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG’s) recent work has advanced the implementation of its Strategic Plan for 2018 – 2022 , which has been compiled for this update.1 The strategic plan outlines the OIG’s goals and objectives in promoting the efficiency, effectiveness, and integrity of VA’s programs and operations to better serve the needs of veterans, their families, and caregivers. It also frames OIG strategies for deterring and addressing criminal activity, waste, and abuse while promoting innovation throughout VA.
