The Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) was statutorily established, as an independent entity, within the United States executive branch by the Inspector General Reform Act of 2008 to address integrity, economy, and effectiveness issues that transcend individual Government agencies; and increase the professionalism and effectiveness of personnel by developing policies, technical standards, and approaches to aid in the establishment of a well-trained and highly skilled workforce in the offices of the Inspectors General.
The CIGIE is composed of all federal U.S. Inspectors General whose offices are established under section 2 or section 8G of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C.

This includes: Inspector General of federal Agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Agency for International Development. The 2008 Inspector General Reform Act combined the former PCIE and ECIE into CIGIE. The CIGIE currently consists of 73 Federal Offices of Inspector General.
