Attestation to Development Fund for Iraq Cash in the Possession of the Joint Area Support Group-Central

摘要

In December 2007, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) was asked to attest to the amount of Development Fund for Iraq (OF) cash controlled by the Joint Area Support Group - Central (JASG- C) Comptroller/DFI Account Manager, and stored in the basement vault of the U.S. Embassy Annex , in Baghdad, and to ensure that the cash on hand agreed with government accounting records. SIGIR was also asked to attest to the transfer of the cash to the Government of Iraq. However, the JASG-C has not finalized procedures for such a transfer. Therefore, this report provides only an attestation to the amount of cash-onhand relative to the accounting records. During the Coalition Provisional Authority's (CPA) administration of Iraq, the authority's Comptroller managed OFI funds. When the CPA was dissolved in June 2004, the Comptroller was realigned as the U.S. Army Joint Area Support Group - Central (JASG-C) Comptroller, and assumed responsibility for DFI cash control. The Iraqi Minister of Finance granted OF administrative and delegation authority to the Joint Contracting Command Iraq/ Afghanistan (JCC-I1A).l On December 31,2007, JCC-I1A's stewardship of the DFI program ended.
