The OIG's FY 2025 Annual Work Plan was approved by the Board of Education at the June 18, 2024 Regular Board Meeting.

The Annual Work Plan describes the work that the OIG plans to undertake in the upcoming fiscal year.

July 31, 2024 - This Annual Report is required by the OIG's Charter and summarizes our activities for the period from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. This report is intended to provide information about the OIG, how we are organized, and what we accomplished during Fiscal Year 2024.

The Charter for the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) outlines, among other things, its purpose, responsibilities, authority and relationship to the Board of Education.

This Fraud Risk Alert is to inform district employees of ways to prevent abuse of purchase cards (P-Cards).

The OIG created a Handbook for Contractors to assist LAUSD contractors in understanding applicable requirements for audits conducted by the OIG’s Contract Audit Unit and to help ease the contract audit process. The information and examples in the booklet are intended solely to provide better insight into the audit process and should not be construed as uniform mandatory guidelines. This booklet also should not be considered a substitute for the applicable rules, regulations and contractual terms, since not all requirements are contained herein. Each contractor must tailor its responses to its individual situation.

The OIG developed a Fraud Warning Notice to be included in District contracts and agreements. The Fraud Warning alerts those doing business with the District about the OIG’s authority and responsibility to audit and investigate persons, companies and organizations affiliated with the District.

The notice includes examples of offenses and their corresponding maximum sentences as well as potential fines. Criminal acts will be pursued to the greatest extent of the law.

To help promote referral of fraud, waste, abuse, and misconduct issues, the OIG has created a trifold brochure that has been installed in different locations throughout the LAUSD Headquarters Beaudry Building. We also distribute this brochure to offices throughout the District.
