Summary

Inspector General Reform Act of 2007 - Amends the Inspector General Act of 1978 to require each Inspector General to be appointed without regard to political affiliation and solely on the basis of integrity and demonstrated ability in accounting, auditing, financial analysis, law, management analysis, public administration, or investigations. Requires the President and other specified officials to communicate to Congress in advance the reasons for removing or transferring an Inspector General. Sets forth the annual rate of basic pay for Inspectors General. Prohibits an Inspector General from receiving cash awards or bonuses. Requires Inspectors General to obtain legal advice from a counsel either reporting directly to the Inspector General or another Inspector General. Establishes within the executive branch the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency to: (1) address integrity, economy, and effectiveness issues that transcend individual government agencies; and (2) increase the professionalism and effectiveness of personnel in Inspector General offices. Permits the Council's Executive Chairperson to authorize the use of interagency funding for specified Council tasks. Establishes an Integrity Committee for the Council to review and refer for investigation allegations that are made against Inspectors General and certain staff of the Inspector General Offices. Provides for: (1) the transmission of Inspector General budget requests; and (2) the application of semiannual reporting requirements concerning inspection and evaluation reports. Requires: (1) each agency to maintain on the homepage of its website a direct link to the agency's Inspector General office; and (2) Inspectors General to post specified reports and audits.
