The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Office of Inspector General (OIG) has issued a Management Advisory to the FDIC Chairman as part of its Special Inquiry of the FDIC’s Workplace Culture with Respect to Harassment and Related Misconduct.
This interim memorandum emphasizes the need for the FDIC to keep the OIG informed in a timely manner of any allegations of misconduct on the part of senior officials. It further suggests that corporate-wide communications can be improved to ensure that all FDIC staff are informed about the OIG and the OIG Hotline as a means to report allegations of misconduct.
The OIG plans to include a summary of the FDIC’s actions regarding this advisory, as well as more formal recommendations to address these matters, in its final special inquiry report.
