The Inspector General Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-452), as amended, requires that the Inspector General report semiannually to the Congress on the activities of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) during the 6-month periods ending March 31 and September 30. This Semiannual Report presents the activities and accomplishments of the U.S. Department of Education (Department) Office of Inspector General (OIG) from October 1, 2019, through March 31, 2020. This report highlights the audits and related reports issued during the time frame, as well as provides information on OIG investigations and other activities, such as Congressional testimony. This report also contains information on other efforts completed during this reporting period specific to the OIG. This includes information on the response to COVID-19, required non-Federal audit-related work, and other reports issued during the reporting period, including our FY 2020 Management Challenges and FY 2020 Annual Plan. Each Semiannual Report also includes summary tables containing statistical data as required by the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, and the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2008.
