Duties Description The Offices of the Inspector General ("OIG") are comprised of three entities, derived from three appointments held by Inspector General Lucy Lang: The Office of the New York State Inspector
General ("NYSIG"), as established by Executive Law Article 4-A, which is entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring that New York State government, its employees, and those who work
with the State are free from corruption, fraud, criminal activity, conflicts of interest, or abuse; The Office of the New York State Welfare Inspector General ("OWIG"), as established by section 74
of the Executive Law, which is responsible for maintaining the integrity of New York State's public assistance programs; and The Office of the New York State Workers' Compensation Fraud
Inspector General ("WCFIG"), as established by section 136 of the Workers' Compensation Law, which is responsible for investigating violations of the laws and regulations pertaining to the
operation of the workers' compensation system. Additionally, as of June 18, 2021, the duties and responsibilities of the former Office of the Gaming Inspector General were transferred to and
encompassed by NYSIG, including the duty to receive and investigate complaints from any source concerning allegations of corruption, fraud, criminal activity, conflicts of interest or abuse in the Gaming Commission. OIG has six office locations, in Albany, Buffalo, Hauppauge, New York City, Suffern and Syracuse.
Job Description
OIG is seeking investigators to conduct confidential and sensitive investigations regarding allegations of fraud, abuse, corruption, conflicts of interest, and other criminal activity involving
New York State agencies, employees and those doing business with the State. These allegations frequently involve state contracts, procurements, abuses of public benefits, and white-collar offenses.
Investigators work collaboratively with teams of OIG attorneys and auditors to plan and execute these internal investigations of various types and prepare written reports documenting investigative activities and findings. In doing so, investigators frequently utilize multiple investigatory techniques, including surveillance, witness/target interviews, digital forensics, and financial record analysis. Investigators receive both internal and external training concerning the subject matters
covered by OIG, investigatory techniques and tactics, and NYS Government, among others.
Given the scope of OIG's jurisdiction, investigators are assigned matters involving a broad range of NYS agencies and entities, which may necessitate travel statewide in to liaise with other federal, state, and local law enforcement and regulatory agencies and to assist in the referral and prosecution of criminal matters.
