During fiscal year 2015, the Office of Inspector General continued its independent oversight of agency operations and its efforts to combat fraud, waste, and abuse. This included the issuance of 8 audit reports that recommended improvements in agency operations.
Investigative activities resulted in 19 arrests, 49 indictments and/or informations, 43 convictions, 27 civil judgments, 57 referrals to the Department of Justice, and more than $202 million in financial accomplishments. This reflects potential fraud amounts related to programs administered exclusively by the RRB and potential fraud amounts from other Federal programs such as Medicare or social security which were identified during Office of Inspector General joint investigative work.
