Inspector General Explanation: The Office of the Inspector General is the executive branch's equivalent of the City Council's DC Auditor. The Inspector General investigates accusations of waste, fraud, mismanagement, and corruption in the District government. If the office discovers matters that are possibly criminal, it refers them to the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, or possibly to the Corporation Counsel, for prosecution. Otherwise, the Inspector General has the power to write and issue reports on its findings. The Office was made independent of the Mayor by the same federal legislation that created the DC Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority, the Control Board. Maybe this will help. I wasn't able to find anything relating to a "procurator" other than in a context dealing with church organizations. |
