8/21/24: Strengthening the federal government’s oversight community

Twelve recommendations to strengthen the inspector general community are part of a new book from the former IG at the Departments of Justice and Defense. Glenn Fine was Inspector General at Justice from 2000 to 2011, and the acting IG at DoD from 2016 to 2020. His book is titled “Watchdogs: Inspectors General and the Battle for Honest and Accountable Government.” In this conversation, he'll tell you what's behind those recommendations, and what new IGs in government should know about the job that's ahead of them.
