By communicating with department heads, conducting onsite inspections, and accessing classified information, PIAB looks for deficiencies in the collection, analysis, and reporting of intelligence."[citation needed]
Intelligence Oversight Board
PIAB has a subgroup called the Intelligence Oversight Board.
George H. W. Bush
George H. W. Bush first formed an opinion of PFIAB while serving as Gerald Ford's Director of Central Intelligence. He reportedly distrusted the board, and reduced its membership from fifteen to six, called on it only sparingly. Michael S. Swetnam worked as a 'Special Consultant'.

The entire PIAB membership that served under the administration of George W. Bush resigned as part of an agreed-upon move in the presidential transition of Barack Obama.[1]
