Course Description
For many supervisors and HR specialists, the word “reassignment” is met with anxiety, angst, and apprehension. There are few in the federal workplace with the confidence to effectively employ this under-utilized management tool. And if it’s not in your toolbox, you’re missing something important.
FELTG instructor Ann Boehm, who spent 26 years as a government attorney focused primarily on employment and labor law, is here to set you straight. She will walk you through management-directed reassignment for business reasons, reassignment for performance reasons, and reassignment as reasonable accommodation for a disability. The 90-minute webinar will cover many facets of reassignment, including:
- What to do when an employee refuses reassignment as a reasonable accommodation.
- When you can legally and unilaterally reassign an employee.
- How to handle an employee request for reassignment.

Course Description
Aside from completing a comprehensive OIG strategic plan, annual planning with robust outreach to your stakeholders is the single most important thing an OIG does. When properly executed, OIG annual planning focuses your personnel, time, budget, and oversight resources on the issues that really matter to your Agency and the accomplishment of its fundamental missions. We all have limited resources. Therefore, it is imperative that OIGs also conduct continual stakeholder outreach to understand what challenges impede their mission.
FELTG Instructor Scott Boehm, whose federal career included a stint benchmarking for Best Practices within the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), will walk you through the five-step annual planning and outreach process while discussing elusive OIG and Agency data sources that too many OIGs overlook. Attendees will leave this session with a template for OIG annual planning and outreach, complete with stakeholder questions that will reduce agency risk and maximize OIG return on investment (ROI).
Attendees will learn how to:
- Write succinct project proposals.
- Conduct risk analysis and prioritize potential projects.
- Outline strategies to align potential projects with agency stakeholders.
And you’ll have multiple opportunities to ask questions – and get answers in real time – as you develop a complete methodology to executive your own OIG annual planning and outreach.

side from completing a comprehensive OIG strategic plan, annual planning with robust outreach to your stakeholders is the single most important thing an OIG does. When properly executed, OIG annual planning focuses your personnel, time, budget, and oversight resources on the issues that really matter to your Agency and the accomplishment of its fundamental missions. We all have limited resources. Therefore, it is imperative that OIGs also conduct continual stakeholder outreach to understand what challenges impede their mission. FELTG Instructor Scott Boehm, whose federal career included a stint benchmarking for Best Practices within the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), will walk you through the five-step annual planning and outreach process while discussing elusive OIG and Agency data sources that too many OIGs overlook.
Every Office of Inspector General should also periodically conduct benchmarking for Best Practices with other OIGs. No OIG has all the answers or “perfect internal controls” and should, therefore, regularly seek better business practices from peer organizations. In fact, both the “Silver Book” for federal, and the “Green Book” for state and local OIGs, state: “OIGs should strive to conduct their operation in the most efficient and effective manner. Each OIG should manage available resources, at the least cost, to produce the greatest results in terms of public benefit, return on investment, and risk reduction.”
Benchmarking ensures your limited OIG resources – budgets, personnel, supplies, infrastructure, training, and time – are focused on the issues that really matter to your Agency.
Attendees will leave this session with a template for OIG annual planning and outreach, complete with stakeholder questions that will reduce agency risk and maximize OIG return on investment (ROI), as well as an OIG benchmarking template that can improve your OIG’s annual planning process; audit, investigation and evaluation handbooks; product lines and report production; return on investment (ROI); and follow-up processes.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Write succinct project proposals
- Conduct risk analysis and prioritize the OIG internal controls requiring the most improvement
- Outline strategies to incorporate Best Practices into their OIG internal controls and peer review quality standards
And you’ll have multiple opportunities to ask questions – and get answers in real time – as you develop a complete methodology to execute your own OIG benchmarking process. This program runs from 12:30 – 4:00 eastern, with a 30-minute break from 2:00 – 2:30 eastern.

As rioters stormed the Capitol on January 6, it was the heroic actions of an under-staffed Capitol Police team that likely saved numerous lives, including those of many Members of Congress and their staff. Unfortunately, the lives of two Capitol officers have been lost.
The Federal workforce is full of talented and brave law enforcement personnel across many agencies. Yet, just as there is a small minority of misbehaving and toxic Federal workers, the same applies to Federal LEOs. In fact, a number of Federal LEOs have been suspended and others are being investigated as a result of their actions during the riot. And after reports of police officers being identified among the rioters, the promises to be deeper investigations into the infiltration of Federal and non-Federal officers affiliated with hate and white supremacy groups.
This creates a lot of questions regarding LEO conduct:
- How do conduct standards for LEOs differ from other employees?
- Are conduct standards for IG employees the same as other LEOs?
- What kinds of conduct could cause an LEO to have a security clearance revoked?
- When should an agency consider an indefinite suspensions and invoking the crime provision?
- What proof does the agency need to provide if the employee appeals her removal?
Attorney and FELTG Instructor Ann Boehm will highlight the Douglas factors that are of specific importance when disciplining officers, explain the MSPB’s role when a security clearance is revoked, discuss Giglio issues, and identify the pitfalls that agencies need to avoid when disciplining Federal LEOs. The framework provided will apply to all your agency’s discipline cases whether the conduct involves storming the Capitol, lack of candor, insubordination, and everything in between.
Ms. Boehm spent 26 years as a government attorney, more than half of that time focusing primarily on employment and labor law in federal law enforcement agencies, so she’s just the person to answer any questions you might have – and she’ll do so in this live event.
This is an important topic that can’t be ignored. It is a matter of national security and must be handled appropriately. We hope you’ll join us.

Click here for the Quarterly Internal Scorecard needed for the training.
All Offices of Inspectors General (OIGs) have mandated quality standards and are expected to conduct their operation in the most efficient and effective manner. Each OIG is expected to manage available resources, at the least cost, to “produce the greatest results in terms of public benefit, return on investment, and risk reduction.”
OIGs cannot accomplish this mission if they lack a robust strategic planning process. Because OIGs continually examine their Agency’s internal controls for efficiency and effectiveness, they must also periodically examine their own. Every three to five years, OIGs should conduct a strategic planning process and publish a revised OIG strategic plan. Strategic planning ensures that your OIG resources (budgets, personnel, infrastructure, training, and time) are focused on accomplishing the mission, reducing risk, and maximizing return on investment (ROI) and public benefit.
FELTG Instructor Scott Boehm will kick off this virtual training with a thorough review of the strategic planning process, complete with examples from his federal OIG experience. He will then tailor the process to address the specific requirements of all OIGs. This include clarifying the methodology, participants and their contributions, pre-session inputs, deliverables and timelines. He will discuss the OIG’s “Values Scan” and then the “Mandate Analysis” that gives the office its statutory or administrative authorities. He will also show how to formulate the OIG Mission Statement while reviewing the higher-level Agency’s strategic plan.
The training will include a discussion of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis, IG Vision formulation. Attendees will learn how to formulate the plan of actions and milestones (POA&M) and develop metrics. Attendees will learn:
- The definitions of questioned costs, unsupported costs, disallowed costs, and funds put to better use
- New strategies for computing their return on investment for audits, inspections and evaluations
- “Other Impact” categories that can, and have been, monetized by federal OIGs in the past
And you’ll have multiple opportunities to ask questions – and get answers in real time – as you develop a complete methodology to measure ROI for your OIG. This program runs from 12:30 – 4:30 eastern, with a 30-minute break from 2:15 – 2:45 eastern.

Course Description
The federal workplace is making a big U-turn. So many changes are taking place at such a quick pace, that the only way for agencies to survive and thrive is through leadership and coordination.
Join FELTG Instructor Scott Boehm for this important webinar. He will explain how your agency’s Office of Inspector General can play a critical role in helping you navigate these changes. But this is not a one-way discussion. Those who work in your agency’s OIG will learn what they can do to foster this coordination. So whether you work in an OIG or you’re an attorney, HR professional, EEO specialist or supervisor, this webinar will help you face the challenging situations brought about by the new Administration’s change in direction.
Your agency’s OIG employs investigators, auditors, evaluators, and, sometimes, armed special agents. Its mission is to prevent and detect waste, fraud, and abuse, and promote economy, effectiveness, and efficiency of agency operations. It does so by investigating potential violations of law or misconduct and auditing or evaluating the agency’s operations and systems.
Attendees will leave with a clear picture of how the HR, EEO, and General Counsel offices can work effectively with the OIG to bring about effective change to skillfully meet agency mission.
- Recognize the various types, purposes, and qualifications of Inspector Generals.
- Identify the agency information that the OIG has access to, and any limitations it has on that information.
- Determine whether an event or action triggers your responsibility
