Join ML Strategies for our Government Speaker Series program featuring Jeffrey S. Shapiro, Inspector General for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As the leader of the nation’s first statewide inspector general’s office, Inspector General Shapiro oversees state and municipal spending, conducts investigations and audits, and advances initiatives to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse across the public sector. 

Drawing on more than 30 years of public-sector experience, Inspector General Shapiro will discuss the evolving role of the Office of the Inspector General, the critical importance of transparency and accountability in state government, and his efforts to modernize and expand the office’s impact.

• Key oversight priorities, including fraud prevention, procurement integrity, and public-sector performance
• Recent findings and policy recommendations shaping state operations
