How officials reporting to both executive officials and
congressional representatives work to keep the government honest,
efficient, and effective. Inspectors general are important players
in the federal government, and their work often draws considerable
public attention when one of them uncovers serious misdeeds or
mismanagement that make the headlines. This book by two experts in
public policy provides a comprehensive, up-to-date examination of
how inspectors general have operated in the four decades since
Congress established the offices to investigate waste, fraud, and
mismanagement at federal agencies and to promote efficiency and
effectiveness in government programs. Unique among federal
officials, inspectors general are independent of the agencies they
monitor, and they report to the executive and legislative branches
of government. One key factor in their independence is that they
are expected to be non-partisan and carry out their work without
regard to partisan interests. The authors of U.S. Inspectors
General: Truth Tellers in Turbulent Times emphasize the "strategic
environment" in which inspectors general work and interact with a
variety of stakeholders, inside and outside the government. Their
new book is based on in-depth case studies, a survey of inspectors
general, and a review of public documents related to the work of
inspectors general. It will be of interest to scholars and students
of public policy and public management, journalists, and ordinary
citizens interested in how the government works or doesn't work on
their behalf.
