The OIG recently opened an investigation into multiple allegations regarding Secretary Ryan Zinke’s travel. During our work, we discovered several issues regarding travel documentation and accountability that require changes to current Immediate Office of the Secretary procedures. Furthermore, our investigation has been delayed due to the absence of proper travel documentation.
We requested any documentation that we require in order to complete our investigation, and made two recommendations to the Office of the Secretary. We received a response from the Immediate Office of the Secretary, which is included in the management advisory.
