HHS-OIG's Work Plan sets forth various projects including audits and evaluations that are underway or planned to be addressed during the fiscal year and beyond.  The work planning process is dynamic and adjustments are made throughout the year to meet priorities and to anticipate and respond to emerging issues with the resources available.  The Work Plan is updated with newly initiated, updated and closed projects.  Some projects may have redacted titles until the work is complete and their reports are published.
