What Is PIAB?
PIAB is an independent element within the Executive Office of the President.
For over 60 years, the advisory board has provided the president with expert advice on the conduct of U.S. intelligence and has made every effort to ensure the strict confidentiality of its deliberations and communications and the objectivity of its advice.
The board assesses issues related to the adequacy, quantity and quality of intelligence activities; effectiveness of organizational structure, personnel and management; and performance of all federal agencies engaged in the collection, evaluation or production of intelligence or the execution of intelligence policy.
The board has access to all information needed to perform its functions.
