MAKING TVA BETTER

The TVA Office of Inspector General performs a crucial mission by providing
independent and objective reporting to the TVA Board, the Congress, and other
stakeholders.

For more than 35 years, the TVA OIG has stayed committed to providing an
independent analysis of TVA operations and programs to help identify more
efficient and effective ways to do business and to prevent and detect fraud,
waste, and abuse. In those years, we have seen many changes in TVA and TVA OIG.
One constant is the focus on making TVA better by helping TVA save or recover
money, reduce risks, and improve operations and working to bring justice to
those who commit fraud. Making TVA better is a mutual purpose we share with TVA
management, employees, and the TVA Board. It is important to the 10 million
people of the Tennessee Valley served by TVA that we approach our work with that
purpose every day.
