Management of the Iraqi Interim Government Fund

摘要

In 2004, the Iraqi Interim Government established the Iraqi Interim Government Fund (IIGF), providing $136 million from the Development Fund for Iraq1 for U.S. military commanders to respond to the urgent humanitarian relief and reconstruction requirements in their areas of responsibility. The Multi-National Force-Iraq (MNF-I) is responsible for overseeing and reporting monthly to the Iraqi government on the status of IIGF projects and financial information; MNF-I's subordinate command, the Multi-National Corps-Iraq (MNC-I), is responsible for management of the IIGF projects. IIGF projects involve the repair or reconstruction of hospitals and clinics, the provision of electrical equipment (such as generators), and civic cleanup. One of its purposes is to employ as many Iraqis as possible. As of July 31, 2006, MNC-I reported that it had disbursed $114.9 million for 683 IIGF projects, of which 628 were complete. Objectives The objectives of this audit are to determine if MNF-I can properly account for the funds provided by the Iraqi Interim Government and has used the funds for their intended purposes.
