Instructor, IGO

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is at the forefront of promoting effective government and the responsible use of public money and property. The OIG is an independent state agency charged with preventing and detecting fraud, waste, and abuse in the use of public funds and public property. The OIG has broad oversight of how state and local governments use federal, state and local funds and property.

The Office is led by the Inspector General of the Commonwealth, who is appointed by the Governor, Attorney General and Auditor. The OIG is organized into three bureaus:
Specialty & General Government, Legal & Compliance, and Operations, Training & Publications. The bureaus focus on specific agencies, issues, or functions. The Operations, Training and Publications Bureau is managed by the Chief Operating Officer and plays a crucial role within the OIG. It is responsible for a variety of functions, including budgeting, revenue, auditing, financial reporting, office administration, procurement, operations, information technology, communications, publications, human resources, data analytics, and records management.

It also includes the Learning and Development Division, which provides training and technical assistance to state and municipal employees on a range of issues related to sound management of public resources.

The Learning and Development Division (L&D) is responsible for educating individuals to help detect and prevent fraud, waste and abuse of public funds and public property. There are two units within L&D, OIG Academy and Procurement Support. The OIG Academy is 26 years old and presents about 80 classes, training and speaking engagements per year to approximately 5,000 individuals. Through a variety of courses, the Academy supports individuals in obtaining the MCPPO (Massachusetts Certified Public Purchasing Official) designation.

The Academy uses both asynchronous, synchronous and blended methods of online instruction and presents in-person classes as well. Procurement Support is responsible for answering questions and providing technical assistance on public procurement.
