Inspector General (IG)

The Naval Intelligence Activity (NIA) Office of Inspector General (IG) is the designated agent that receives and investigates allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse for the Naval Intelligence Enterprise (NIE), comprising the NIA, the Office of Naval Intelligence, and subordinate commands.  The IG depends upon the NIE military and civilian workforce, contractors, and the public to report their concerns regarding suspected fraud, waste, abuse and gross mismanagement involving the NIE.

Everyone is encouraged to be vigilant to the possibility of fraud, waste, abuse, and related improprieties and to report these suspicions to the IG.

The IG is also the designated NIE agent for initial receipt of allegations of Intelligence Oversight (IO) violations involving the NIE.  For more information on IO, please see the Department of Defense Senior Intelligence Oversight Official’s site at http://dodsioo.defense.gov.
