Why oversight
Oversight and accountability save taxpayer dollars. We want to ensure it's effective.
$36.7 Billion
Savings identified by Inspectors General to date in fiscal year 2026.
What's at risk
Effective oversight helps mitigate the estimated $233 billion in fraud risk.
$1 Trillion
Value of grants that flowed to state and local governments through 30 agencies with more than1000 grant programs. This was 17 percent of total federal spending in fiscal year 2025. Fraud in these programs is just one risk oversight officials mitigate.

Over 100 years
Collectively, we bring over a century of experience integrating the skills needed for robust oversight and accountability: law, investigations, financial and performance audits, ethics, and data-driven, evidence-based decision making.
