Sec. 105-53.131  Office of Inspector General.

    (a) Creation and authority. Public Law 95-452, known as the 
Inspector General Act of 1978, consolidated existing audit and 
investigation functions and established an Office of Inspector General 
in 11 major domestic departments and agencies, including GSA. Each 
office is headed by an Inspector General appointed by the President with 
the advice and consent of the Senate.
    (b) Functions. The Office of Inspector General is responsible for 
policy direction and conduct of audit, inspection, and investigation 
activities relating to programs and operations of GSA; and maintaining 
liaison with other law enforcement agencies, the Department of Justice, 
and United States Attorneys on all matters relating to the detection and 
prevention of fraud and abuse. The Inspector General reports 
semiannually to the Congress through the Administrator concerning fraud, 
abuses, other serious problems, and deficiencies of agency programs and 
operations; recommends corrective action; and reports on progress made 
in implementing these actions.
