Integrity and Oversight

The Office of Integrity and Oversight (OIO) reports directly to the District’s Chief Financial Officer and consists of two divisions – Internal Audit and Internal Security.

The Internal Audit Division’s primary function is to assist District financial managers in promoting integrity, efficiency, and accountability in financial and fiscal operations and related management functions. This is accomplished through a system of internal audits and reviews, oversight and monitoring activities, and analyses and evaluations, among other actions.

The Internal Security Division is responsible for detecting and preventing fraud and other misconduct within Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) programs, as well as proactively developing integrity checks and integrity training. Their work ranges from the background investigations that every new OCFO employee must undergo to investigations of alleged or suspected assaults, thefts, embezzlements, and other frauds or abuses. The division investigates criminal cases jointly with the District’s Inspector General, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Metropolitan Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies. It also oversees OCFO emergency preparedness and assesses the adequacy of measures to protect OCFO facilities, operations, and personnel.

OIO is located at 1275 K Street, NW, 5th floor, Washington, DC 20005 and can be reached at (202) 442-6433.
