Welcome to the

Office of Inspector General

 

Our Mission

The mission of the Office of Inspector General is to advance positive change in performance, accountability, efficiency, integrity, and transparency of programs and operations within the Department of Financial Services.

 

Authority

Section 20.055 (2), Florida Statutes, provides that the Office of Inspector General (OIG) is established in each state agency to provide a central point for coordination of and responsibility for activities that promote accountability, integrity and efficiency in government. The major responsibilities of the OIG include investigations, audits, reviews, consulting and technical assistance activities.


The Offices of Insurance Regulation (OIR) and Financial Regulation (OFR) each have their own separate inspectors general. On occasion, the DFS Inspector General may work with the OIR or OFR Inspectors General on projects of mutual interest.
