President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency

Overview
The Inspector General's Act of 1978, as amended, created independent audit and investigative units &mdash; Offices of (the) Inspector General &mdash; at 57 Federal agencies. In 1981, the President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency (PCIE) was established by Executive Order. An Executive Order in 1992 reaffirmed the PCIE. The PCIE is an interagency committee chaired by the Office of Management and Budget's Deputy Director for Management.

Its mission is to continually identify, review, and discuss areas of weakness and vulnerability in Federal programs and operations to fraud, waste, and abuse, and to develop plans for coordinated, Government-wide activities that address these problems and promote economy and efficiency in Federal programs and operations.
