Excerpt from “The OIG is watching you. Are you watching it?”

By Jan Elezian

Just as your compliance department compiles an annual road map for work projects engineered to minimize risk to the organization, the federal government requires an annual road map from the Office of Inspector General (OIG). Its road map, or Work Plan, is tactical in nature and designed to outline the federal government’s expectations for upcoming management. Projects are gleaned from information received from a variety of sources, including the OIG’s fraud, waste, and abuse hotline; departmental and Government Accountability Office and Department of Justice referrals; billing data; Congressional requests; and referrals from whistleblower disclosures. Projects are planned to be addressed during the fiscal year and beyond by the OIG’s Office of Audit Services and the Office of Evaluation and Inspections. The OIG Work Plan thus becomes an important resource and reference for healthcare compliance programs when developing their internal and external auditing plans.
