Background: The Office of the Inspector General at U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD OIG) is an independent government entity established to prevent waste, fraud and abuse within HUD and its programs. A large part of HUD OIG's financial management oversight role is compliance with the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 (CFO Act). HUD OIG conducts an annual financial statements audit of HUD and its component entities, including Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) as the principal auditor. By law, HUD OIG is required to issue its independent auditor's report by mid-November of each year. While HUD OIG's Office of Audit (OA) employs contractor(s) to support the audit itself, HUD OIG Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) and OA require additional support and subject matter expertise in order to fully support the GNMA Audit and similar actions. General Description of Work: A draft Performance Work Statement is attached for both the Vehicle and Initial Audibility Order and Initial Training Order.
