Earlier today, our Acting IG's watchdog - Special Canine in Charge Patty - hacked our social media accounts. She confessed she did it to raise awareness about impersonation scams for International Fraud Awareness Week. #fraudweek

So, we let her off the hook (er, leash).

There are more than 70 Inspectors General on a mission to make govt. agencies & programs more effective & hold fraudsters accountable? We're proud to be one of them.

Even though we're only 25 years old, this concept of oversight dates back ~250 years:
