Bureau of Diplomatic Security Baghdad Embassy Security Force. Performance Audit

摘要

The Middle East Regional Office (MERO) of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) initiated this work under the authority of the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, due to concerns about the Department's exercise of control over the performance of security contractors. In particular, DS was concerned that Triple Canopy's training records were not sufficient to determine whether its personnel were properly trained. Overall, the objectives of this review were to determine: (1) the requirements and provisions of the contract; (2) whether contract performance measures have been established and are being achieved; (3) how well the Department has administered the contract to provide proper oversight of Triple Canopy's performance in Baghdad, Iraq; (4) whether the contract is being effectively managed; (5) the sufficiency of Triple Canopy's training, qualification, and personnel records for security guards, supervisors, and managers supporting the contract in Baghdad, Iraq; and (6) whether Department contracts include FAR clause 52.222-50, which provides for termination of a contract if the contractor engages in severe forms of trafficking in persons.
