Client Overview
The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) within the U.S. Department of Commerce plays a critical role in maintaining transparency, accountability, and regulatory compliance across federal programs. In response to growing demands for enhanced oversight, the OIG engaged CULTIVA Global Solutions as a subcontractor to deliver special advisory services and subject matter expertise in support of its mission.
The Challenge
In an environment of increasing regulatory complexity and heightened public scrutiny, the OIG required more robust tools and expert insight to ensure comprehensive program evaluations and effective audits. The agency was particularly focused on improving its internal auditing processes and strengthening its ability to adapt to rapidly evolving federal compliance requirements.
