What We Do, Where We Work

Join the mission to safeguard humanitarian aid for vulnerable communities around the world.

Join our team and help oversee billions of U.S. dollars in foreign assistance. Our audits, inspections, evaluations, and investigations of U.S. foreign assistance programs and operations help ensure aid goes to intended recipients: not into the hands of criminals. OIG’s oversight efforts include making recommendations to improve economy and effectiveness in agency programs and to detect and deter fraud, waste, and abuse.

From our headquarters in Washington, DC, and regional offices located around the world, we oversee programs that seek to alleviate poverty, provide disaster relief, promote economic growth, and encourage accountable, democratic societies. A career with our office makes you a part of that mission and gives you varied assignments that can provide job satisfaction and professional growth in the United States and abroad.
