MISSION STATEMENT:
“Our mission is to promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness and to detect and deter waste, fraud, and abuse in State of Alaska programs and operations. Our goal is to enhance public trust in government.”
In 2019, the State of Alaska’s Oversight & Review Unit was established to provide a central point for coordination of and responsibility for activities that promote accountability, integrity, and efficiency in state government.
Within the Oversight & Review Unit, there are two distinct functions: investigations and reviews.
Reviews provide independent, objective assessments to improve the agency’s programs or activities. In carrying out these responsibilities, the O&R reviews and evaluates internal controls to ensure fiscal accountability of the agency. In carrying out investigative duties, O&R conducts, supervises, and coordinates investigations designed to detect, deter, prevent, and eradicate fraud, waste, mismanagement, misconduct, and other abuses in government.
