Nicholas J. Novak, Inspector General
I was deeply honored to be appointed PBGC’s fifth Inspector General on January 17, 2021, by PBGC’s Board of Directors. I started working at PBGC’s Office of Inspector General in 1995 as an auditor reviewing work papers for the financial statement audit. Since then, I have worked for all four of the agency’s Inspectors General, as well as the Corporation. In one post within PBGC, I served as the Division Manager of the Multiemployer Program. As Inspector General, I oversee the work to detect and deter fraud, waste, abuse, and misconduct in PBGC programs and personnel, and promote economy and efficiency in agency operations.
Brooke Holmes, Deputy Inspector General
Brooke Holmes was appointed Deputy Inspector General on February 27, 2022. In the previous 18 months, Brooke served as the Associate Director for Oversight and Accountability at the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC), where she worked with 22 Inspectors General to coordinate the oversight of more than $5 trillion in pandemic relief programs and spending. Prior to the PRAC, Brooke worked for approximately five years at PBGC OIG; first as an Audit Manager, then as the Assistant Inspector General for Audit. Before joining PBGC OIG, Brooke worked at the Small Business Administration OIG, with the Marine Corps, and at the Naval Audit Service. Brooke served as an auditor and an audit liaison, where she learned the audit craft and saw how auditees experience the process. She has a wealth of experience leading, performing and overseeing audit engagements across a wide range of government programs. I am delighted that she returned to PBGC OIG to lead an office culture that emphasizes people and professional excellence.
