Summary
Drafted with AI
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page. How this site is made
Independent executive-branch OIG, attached to the Governor's office for administrative purposes, with operational autonomy. Conducts audits, investigations, and evaluations of all executive-branch agencies — including the Negociado de la Policía de Puerto Rico and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation — for fraud, waste, and abuse. Excluded entities are explicitly enumerated in the statute; PRPB and DCR are not among the exclusions.
Findings are advisory; the OIG refers criminal matters to the PFEI or DOJ. Does not independently investigate UOF incidents.
