The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) released today its annual report identifying the top management and performance challenges facing the DOJ.
In this year’s report, we cover six top challenges for the Department:
- Ongoing Challenges Facing the Federal Bureau of Prisons
- Safeguarding National Security
- Maintaining Public Trust in the U.S. Department of Justice
- Law Enforcement and Protection of Individual Rights
- Responsible Use of Taxpayer Funds
- Managing Human Capital Issues
The report, which was transmitted to the DOJ in December 2025, is required by statute to be prepared by the OIG and included in the DOJ’s Agency Financial Report. It is intended to help DOJ in its efforts to improve program performance and exercise careful oversight to ensure the effectiveness of its operations. The challenges are identified based on the OIG’s oversight work, research, and judgment. The OIG has prepared similar reports since 1998.
