Federal anti-fraud council would be closed, moving its duties to other government offices.
This bill would close down a federal watchdog council (CIGIE) that helps oversee government spending. Its duties, like setting standards for federal watchdogs and training their staff, would be split among other government offices. These changes would start one year after the bill becomes law.
Today, the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) coordinates federal Inspectors General and sets some standards for their work. If this bill passes, CIGIE would be abolished in one year. Its duties would then be transferred to other government offices, with the Office of Management and Budget, the Comptroller General, and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers taking on new roles in overseeing and training federal watchdogs.
