Semiannual Report To Congress #45 (October 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012)

I am pleased to submit the Amtrak Office of Inspector General (OIG) Semiannual Report to the United States Congress for the six months ending March 31, 2012. This report highlights our significant accomplishments during this period, including the results of the congressionally mandated U.S. Postal Service (USPS) OIG review of Amtrak OIG’s operational independence and progress in addressing the report’s recommendations; audits, inspections and evaluations, and investigations; and our ongoing initiatives to strengthen the office, and our progress in becoming a model OIG.
