The Oversight Division provides legal support and guidance to the Department of Commerce on a range of sensitive legal and investigative issues. The Oversight Division conducts internal investigations into allegations of fraud, waste and abuse pursuant to referrals from the Office of Inspector General.  The Oversight Division also coordinates the Department's response to audits conducted by the General Accountability Office and works closely with the Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs and clients throughout the Department of Commerce to respond to Congressional requests for information, materials, or witnesses. Oversight Division attorneys also interface with the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) during OSC investigations and provide OGC-wide professional responsibility advice and counsel.
