Work Plan for Fiscal Year 2026 [ [link removed] ] 12/18/2025 08:38 AM EST
The Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) Work Plan for FY 2026 reflects planned and ongoing audits and inspections designed to drive positive change within the U.S. Department of State (Department), the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), and the U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC).
FY 2025 brought a variety of changes that have impacted our oversight. First, the number and scale of foreign assistance programs administered by the Department greatly increased while the Department undertook a significant reorganization. Second, the lapse in appropriations that began on October 1, 2025, constrained our ability to begin to fully execute annual work plans. This work plan reflects the impact of these developments.
OIG is dedicated to delivering timely, high-quality oversight that promotes accountability, efficiency, and effectiveness. We pride ourselves on working with our stakeholders to help prevent and detect fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement; communicating effectively to support informed decision-making and effect positive change; and increasing collaboration to maximize the impact of our work.
OIG uses several criteria to identify activities to focus on each year, including:
* Major management challenges facing the Department and USAGM, as identified by OIG.
* Stakeholder priorities that promote efficiency and effectiveness in the execution of foreign policy.
* Statutory mandates and requirements.
* New and changing conditions affecting the programs and operations of the Department, USAGM, and USIBWC.
* Availability of resources and expertise.
This FY 2026 Work Plan supersedes previously issued plans. OIG will periodically review this work plan and update our online listing of planned projects, as needed, to ensure that our oversight operations remain relevant, timely, and responsive to our stakeholders’ needs and the changing demands of our global oversight mission.
