Semiannual Report to Congress, September 2017

This report summarizes work we initiated and completed during this semiannual period on a number of critical Departmental activities. Over the past 6 months—in addition to issuing our annual Top Management and Performance Challenges Facing the Department of Commerce—OIG completed nine audits, inspections, and public investigative reports. These products addressed programs and personnel associated with the Economic Development Administration (EDA), Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA), Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), and the Department itself.
