NYC Department of Investigation
The NYC Department of Investigation (DOI) is the city's independent inspector general, responsible for investigating corruption, fraud, and misconduct in city agencies and contractors. DOI has been the primary investigative body for DHS shelter fraud, including the Pacific Management Group ghost billing inquiry and Acacia Network overbilling finding. DOI referrals can lead to criminal prosecution, contract termination, and vendor debarment.
DOI has exclusive authority to investigate city agency misconduct and contractor fraud. All shelter investigations tracked by NYCFRAUD.ORG involve DOI referrals or active DOI inquiries.
