Inspector General Update This Wednesday
The Chamber presents Business Before Hours with Palm Beach County Inspector General, Sheryl Steckler. Join us and learn "5 things you should know about the Inspector General and how it affects local business."

The Palm Beach County's Office of Inspector General (OIG) consists of three main services: Investigations, Audit and Contract Oversight.  Ms. Steckler's jurisdiction includes all elected and appointed county and municipal officials, employees, agencies, contractors and any business receiving county or municipal funds.  In total, there are 38 municipalities within PBC.  In addition, the Solid Waste Authority, Health Care District, and Children's Services Council have voluntarily contracted with the OIG for their services.
