On April 6, the Senate voted by unanimous consent to confirm Krista Anne Boyd as Inspector General of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The agency has not had a permanent IG for six years.

President Biden nominated her to the position in September 2021.

“It’s really important that the OIG stay on top of OPM efforts to protect its information. There are a number of outstanding open recommendations from the OIG now that have been uncovered during FISMA audits. And it’s really important for OPM to address those open recommendations,” Boyd said during her nomination hearing in March.

Boyd’s stated priorities include oversight of OPM’s information technology modernization and cybersecurity efforts.
