Definition
An Inspector General Audit is an independent examination conducted by an agency's Office of Inspector General to evaluate program effectiveness, efficiency, and compliance with laws and regulations. IG Audits may examine contractor operations, contract administration, and program outcomes.
IG Audit findings can significantly impact contractors through recommendations affecting contract terms, payment practices, or compliance requirements. Understanding IG Audit processes helps contractors prepare for and respond to audit activities. IG Audits support accountability and may identify fraud, waste, or abuse.
