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. OIG's FY 2022 Annual Plan details the assignment areas and resources 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 Strategic Plan (see ED620770), and focuses attention across challenge areas to the Department. The activities presented in the FY 2022 Work Plan are conducted under the OIG's first Strategic Plan goal: Deliver high-quality, timely, and impactful products and services that promote efficiency, effectiveness, and integrity in the Department's operations and programs. 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 2022 Management Challenges (see ED620843), and resource availability. OIG presents these activities in four priority areas: (1) specialized work specific to pandemic relief oversight and disaster recovery; (2) Federal student aid programs and operations; (3) K-12 grant programs and operations, and (4) Department management and operations. At the end of the work plan, a table is included that correlates the FY 2022 Work Plan projects to the FY 2022 Management Challenges. [For the FYs 2021-2022 Annual Plan, see ED621276.]
