The indicator measures the extent to which OIG investigations result in credible information for prosecutors or Department management to consider remedies related to the investigations. It is computed by dividing the number of investigative cases completed in the fiscal year that were referred for criminal, civil, or administrative action, or where allegations were unfounded by the total number of investigative cases that were completed. Investigative cases are case files opened to investigate an alleged violation of a federal criminal or civil statute or regulation/policy. Referred for criminal, civil, or administrative action means that the investigation developed enough evidence of a violation and was taken to a criminal or civil prosecutor (typically an Assistant United States Attorney) for prosecutorial consideration or referred to Department management for consideration of administrative action. This data is maintained in OIG's Case Management System.

The Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (“Evidence Act”) requires that agency Evaluation Officers coordinate the development of an Annual Evaluation Plan that is published concurrent with the agency Annual Performance Plan. The Annual Evaluation Plan describes “significant” evaluations and related information for the subsequent fiscal year. This measure is the percent of projects in Annual Evaluation Plans that support the current Strategic Plan and Learning Agenda that are on schedule.

The denominator is the total number of projects in the Annual Plans from the start of the 5-year Strategic Planning cycle up to and including the year in progress. The numerator is the numerator of those projects that are on schedule. The calculation provides the percent of the projects that are on track.

This indicator reflects the result of the Financial Statement Audit. The goal is to receive an “unmodified” audit opinion. There are several types of audit opinions: (1) unmodified, in which the Auditor concludes that the Financial Statements give a true and fair view in accordance with the financial reporting framework used for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Statements [SCORE = 1]; (2) modified, in which the Auditor encounters a situation that does not comply with generally accepted accounting principles, however, the rest of the financial statements are fairly presented [SCORE = -1]; and (3) disclaimer, which is issued when the Auditor cannot form, and refuses to present, an opinion on the financial statements [SCORE = 0].

The Commerce Data Governance Board (CDGB) has working groups that develop and create meta data for performance metrics that that will be used by multiple or all bureaus. Each group has an action plan with due dates. This measure reports the percent of the actions in these plans that are on schedule within one quarter of the original due date.

The indicator measures the extent to which OIG prioritizes its audit resources to address the most serious management and performance challenges facing the Department. It is computed by dividing the number of audits and evaluations initiated during the fiscal year that address the issues published each October in OIG's Top Management Challenges report by the total number initiated.
