Top Management and Performance Challenges

Photo of Department of Justice building The OIG has created a list of top management and performance challenges in the Department annually since 1998, initially in response to congressional requests but in recent years as part of the Department’s annual Performance and Accountability Report.

The OIG’s top challenges for this year, issued in November 2010, are listed below. Many of the challenges from last year’s list, such as counterterrorism, are long-standing challenges that remain on the list.

The challenge of “Sharing of Intelligence and Law Enforcement Information” was incorporated into other challenges and removed as a separate entry on the list. In addition, the “Financial Crimes” challenge was expanded to include “Cyber Crimes.” “Grant Management” and “Recovery Act Funding and Oversight” were combined into one challenge.

We added two challenges to last year’s list:  “Southwest Border Security Issues” and “Violent and Organized Crime.”
