Report: The CSB’s Fiscal Year 2026 Top Management Challenges
May 6, 2026 | Report No. 26-N-0006
Why We Did This Report
The Reports Consolidation Act of 2000 requires each inspector general to prepare an annual statement summarizing what the inspector general considers to be “the most serious management and performance challenges facing the agency” and to briefly assess the agency’s progress in addressing those challenges.
Summary of Findings
For fiscal year 2026, we identified two management challenges facing the CSB. We consider these to be the CSB’s greatest vulnerabilities to waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement and the most significant barriers to accomplishing the CSB’s mission:
- Operating effectively without a full board
- Improving information security
