I am pleased to submit this Semiannual Report to Congress highlighting the activities of the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the six
months ending on March 31, 2024.
The OIG employs modern technologies and tools to ensure good financial stewardship of
American taxpayers' investment in the OIG. Our diligent and innovative workforce leverages
extensive experience in overseeing complex and consequential initiatives and produces significant
impact. Our office’s capacity to achieve high impact regarding our audits, evaluations,
investigations, special projects, and use of emerging technology is limited only by resource
challenges. Our office will continue to pursue the mission of providing independent, objective,
standards-based oversight and enforcement to protect EEOC programs and the people they serve
from fraud, waste, and abuse.
During this reporting period, our office was able to fill its vacant senior evaluator position. This
hiring brings our full-time equivalent (FTE) level to eleven. The only position that remains vacant
is the Chief Technology Officer, whose function is currently being performed by the office's
Deputy Inspector General.
Along with other work associated with our mission, one of the most important tasks that we are
currently undertaking is to author our new Strategic Plan. This new plan will drive our vision
associated with the office's goals, objectives, and performance measures. This plan will also
discuss our efforts regarding the implementation of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
Our office will continue its efforts regarding identifying new and innovative practices that will
further enhance our ability to perform Office of Inspector General mission-critical activities.
I would like to personally thank the OIG's dedicated team of talented professionals, whose
resilience and flexibility during the reporting period have allowed the office to continue its
vigilance in detecting and preventing waste, fraud, abuse, and misconduct in the Agency's
operations and programs. I would also like to welcome the Agency's new General Counsel, Karla
Gilbride, to the EEOC.
