The U.S. Department of Education (Department) Office of Inspector General (OIG) annual plan identifies the audits, inspections, and other activities that the OIG intends to undertake to assist the Department in fulfilling its responsibilities to America's citizens and students. The FY 2024 Annual Plan details the assignment areas they plan to devote to evaluations of the efficiency, effectiveness, and integrity of Department programs and operations. It aligns the OIG's work and resources to achieve their mission, meet the goals of their 5-year Strategic Plan (see ED620770), and focuses attention across the management challenges facing the Department. The activities presented in the FY 2024 Work Plan are conducted under the OIG's first Strategic Plan goal. These activities were developed in consideration of factors that include an assessment of risk to the Department's programs and operations, the OIG's mission and goals, stakeholder feedback, FY 2024 management challenges, and resource availability. These activities are outlined in four priority areas: (1) specialized work specific to pandemic relief; (2) student financial assistance programs and operations; (3) elementary, secondary, postsecondary, and vocational education grant programs and operations; and (4) Department management and operations. At the end of the work plan, the authors include a table that correlates the FY 2024 Work Plan projects to the FY 2024 Management Challenges.
