US: FTC Appoints as acting inspector general

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chairman Joseph Simons appointed Andrew Katsaros as the FTC’s Acting Inspector General, succeeding Roslyn A. Mazer, who retired from federal service at the end of May after serving for more than three years as the agency’s Inspector General.

“I’m pleased to announce that Andrew has joined us to fill this important position,” Simons said. “His knowledge and experience will help ensure that the agency benefits from an independent and objective voice, and continues to function efficiently and effectively.”

“All of us at the Commission owe Roslyn Mazer a debt of gratitude for her outstanding work during her tenure as Inspector General,” Simons said.

Katsaros joins the FTC from the Office of Inspector General at the US Department of Commerce, where he served as Assistant Inspector General for the Office of Audit and Evaluation. Katsaros, a Certified Public Accountant, previously was Assistant Director for Audit and Review for the Executive Office for United States Attorneys at the Department of Justice. Before that, he held several positions at the US Agency for International Development, including Director of Financial Audits, and he also worked in the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Defense.

Katsaros is a graduate of Western Michigan University, a CPA, and a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
