IG Missal Highlights 91st Semiannual Report to Congress

In the latest episode of Veteran Oversight Now, VA Inspector General Michael J. Missal discusses the VA OIG’s latest Semiannual Report to Congress that covered our oversight work from October 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. Specifically, he shares results of our most recent work related to VA’s Electronic Health Record Modernization program. To date, the VA OIG has published 19 products addressing the program’s implementation across VA facilities nationwide. In addition, IG Missal shares his thoughts on the VA OIG’s work related to VA’s personnel suitability program as well as recent crime and fraud alerts. A recent fraud alert encourages VBA staff to report when veterans share that they are being charged high fees from unaccredited individuals for assistance with completing disability benefits questionnaires (DBQs) or an initial claim filing. This podcast edition also includes highlights of the VA OIG’s work from April 2024.

“It's wonderful to be able to talk about all the incredible work that our staff performs in the service of our nation's veterans. I could not be more proud of the progress our staff has made in achieving our mission to serve veterans and the public by conducting meaningful, fair, and evidence-driven oversight of VA.” – Inspector General Michael J. Missal.
