No Evidence Tribal Officials Committed Grant Fraud or Retaliated Against Tribal Employee
The OIG investigated allegations that tribal officials manipulated statistical reports they submitted to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to influence the amount of Federal funding received by the tribe. We also investigated allegations that tribal officials distributed Federal grant funds to ineligible clients, and that they terminated a former employee for notifying the BIA of potential fraudulent activities.
We did not substantiate any of the allegations.

Reassignment of Senior Executives at the U.S. Department of the Interior
We reviewed the process the DOI’s Executive Resources Board (ERB) used to reassign senior executives to determine whether the ERB complied with Federal legal requirements and U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) guidance. Although the Deputy Solicitor expressed his belief that the process met all legal requirements, absent documentation, we could not independently determine whether or not the ERB complied with the Federal legal requirements governing the administration of the Senior Executive Service (SES).
