Inspectors general are the independent government watchdogs tasked with combating fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption, and promoting efficiency and effectiveness of the agencies, programs, and jurisdictions they oversee. Unlike federal inspectors general, state and local inspectors general are not required to adhere to the reporting requirements of the federal Inspector General Act of 1978, which raises questions on their activities. To date, there is limited research on state and local inspectors general given their substantial differences in reporting requirements, content, and publication. The author brings attributes from Stohl’s Information Visibility Scale and the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General Transparency Act to develop a 5-point scale to measure transparency of state and local offices of inspector general. This analysis finds 53% out of 116 state and local offices are very or extremely transparent while the remaining 47% are moderately to not transparent at all. The author recommends amendments to state and local inspector general statutes and their reporting methods to improve transparency within the inspection and oversight profession.
