司法部监察长发布犯罪受害者基金监督汇编:11年审计62亿美元、追回逾2000万美元

美国司法部监察长办公室(OIG)11月10日发布一份互动式汇编,汇总该办公室11年来依托犯罪受害者基金(Crime Victims Fund,CVF)开展的监督工作。司法部监察长办公室表示,相关监督帮助改善了面向犯罪受害者的服务与支持,加强了政府支出的透明与问责,并防止公共资金被滥用。
汇编显示,自2015财年以来,国会已从犯罪受害者基金分发逾300亿美元用于受害者相关服务,年均约25亿美元。截至2026财年末,监察长办公室已审计其中62亿美元、约占21%,并完成了全部州级受害者援助与受害者补偿项目的审计,范围包括华盛顿特区、波多黎各与关岛。
司法部监察长办公室说,其审计工作已帮助司法部追回逾2000万美元,另有60项调查带来逾1300万美元追回。汇编还列举了监督工作在改善拨款管理、震慑欺诈与滥用、防止资金误用以及促进问责与合规方面的具体成效。
司法部监察长 Don R. Berthiaume 表示,提高面向犯罪受害者的服务效率与成效是该办公室的首要任务之一,查处涉及受害者资金的欺诈、并追究相关人员责任同样如此。他说,该办公室感谢司法部与国会对这项监督工作的持续支持,并将继续尽力帮助犯罪受害者。

DOJ Inspector General Releases Crime Victims Fund Oversight Compendium: $6.2 Billion Audited Over 11 Years
The U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) on Nov. 10 released an interactive compendium highlighting 11 years of OIG oversight activities supported by the Crime Victims Fund (CVF). The OIG said its oversight work has helped improve services and support for victims of crime, strengthen transparency and accountability in government spending, and safeguard public funds from misuse, abuse and fraud.
Since fiscal year 2015, Congress has distributed over $30 billion, approximately $2.5 billion annually, from the CVF for victim-related services, according to the compendium. By the end of fiscal year 2026, the OIG had audited $6.2 billion, or almost 21 percent, of those funds, and completed audits of all state-level victim assistance and victim compensation programs, as well as audits of Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Guam.
The Department of Justice has recovered more than $20 million as a result of the OIG's audit work, and the office has conducted 60 investigations resulting in more than $13 million in recoveries, the OIG said. The compendium also highlights how the oversight improved grant management, deterred fraud and abuse, prevented misuse of funds, and promoted accountability and compliance.
DOJ Inspector General Don R. Berthiaume said improving the efficiency and effectiveness of services for crime victims is a top priority for the office, as is detecting and deterring fraud involving funds for crime victims and holding those who commit fraud accountable. He said the office appreciates the support it has received from both the Justice Department and Congress and will continue to help crime victims however it can.
