Inspectors General are often associated with investigating and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse—core functions that remain essential to effective oversight and accountability. While those topics are frequently discussed in compliance and enforcement training, this CLE program examines another critical dimension of IG work: promoting organizational ethics and integrity.

This CLE course explores the Inspector General’s role in fostering an ethical culture within government agencies and organizations, including how leadership, accountability, transparency, and internal controls contribute to long-term institutional trust. Participants will gain insight into the relationship between ethics and oversight, the challenges organizations face in maintaining ethical standards, and practical strategies for encouraging ethical decision-making across all levels of an organization.

Through discussion of real-world examples and oversight principles, attendees will better understand how strong ethical cultures can reduce risk, improve compliance, and strengthen public confidence in institutions.
