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.

It is computed by dividing the number of DOC-related complaints that are evaluated and referred within 30 days by the total number of DOC-related complaints received.

They can be received via online web submissions, phone calls, emails, faxes, or in person visits. Appropriate action includes investigations, requests for assistance or proactive monitoring, audits, referrals to DOC operating units, and referrals to external entities.
