Criminal Investigation records statistical data on a fiscal year basis (October - September) by enforcement priorities and program areas. Although the numbers are shown within the parameters of a 12-month period, financial investigations are very complex and can sometimes take more than a year to complete. Therefore, the data shown in investigations initiated may not represent the same universe of investigations shown in other actions within the same fiscal year. (Example: an investigation initiated in fiscal year 2009 may not be sentenced until fiscal year 2010)
