<p><span style="font-size:small;">The scope of Amtrak's OIB is governed by the Inspector General Act of 1978, which was amended in 1988 and 2008. The OIG reports administratively to the Amtrak CEO, with a dotted reporting relationship to the Board of Directors and the Congress.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:small;">"To ensure objectivity, the IG Act empowers Inspector Generals with:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:small;">Independence to determine what reviews to perform;</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:small;">Access to all information necessary for the reviews;</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:small;">Authority to publish findings and recommendations based on the reviews."</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size:small;">The current Inspector General, Theodore Alves, has more than 37 years experience in government auditing and investigative. He appears to be a seasoned audit executive.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:small;">The IG is empowered to bypass the CEO and Board of Directors in extreme circumstances and report directly to Congress. He (she) would only do so, however, in the case of suspected executive management misbehavior. </span></p>
