WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General (DOL OIG) announced its partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in the launch of the National Fraud Detection Center (NFDC). As a signatory of the NFDC Charter, the DOL OIG has committed dedicated analysts and investigators to the prosecutor-led effort to strengthen interagency coordination to detect and dismantle complex fraud schemes.
“Effective fraud enforcement demands that we stay ahead of sophisticated schemes rather than simply reacting to them. By placing our investigative resources directly inside the NFDC, we are embedding proactive detection into the DNA of our fraud investigations,” said Anthony P. D’Esposito, Inspector General, U.S. Department of Labor.
The NFDC serves as a centralized, collaborative space bringing together federal law enforcement, the Inspector General community, and state partners. By joining forces with the DOJ’s Fraud Division, fellow OIGs, and federal law enforcement agencies, the DOL OIG reinforces its commitment to holding accountable those who seek to defraud federal programs and abuse public trust.
“The launch of the NFDC marks a major milestone in the war on fraud, turning the White House Fraud Task Force’s whole-of-government approach into a working reality. This is what unified, proactive fraud enforcement looks like,” Inspector General D’Esposito added.
