The Office of the State Comptroller’s (OSC) Investigations Division was formed in 2010 after the Legislature consolidated the powers of the Office of the Inspector General under OSC.

Pursuant to this statutory mandate, the Investigations Division is tasked with detecting and uncovering fraud, waste and abuse in New Jersey government through investigations, evaluations, inspections, and reviews. Among other activities, the Division monitors the performance of elected officials, public employees, and programs; uncovers waste and misconduct involving public funds; and releases reports that include findings and recommendations.
