Quarterly Report to the United States Congress
Abstract
This report provides a summary of SIGARs oversight work and an update on developments in the three major sectors of Afghanistans reconstruction effort from January 1 to March 31,2014.* It also includes a discussion of the threat corruption poses to the reconstruction effort. During this reporting period, SIGAR published 20 audits, inspections, alert letters, and other reports assessing the U.S. efforts to build the Afghan security forces, improve governance, and facilitate economic and social development. These reports identified a number of problems, including weaknesses of assessment and oversight, corruption, construction deficiencies, and other threats to health and safety. The criminal fines, restitutions, forfeitures, and cost savings to the U.S. government from SIGARs ongoing investigations in this reporting period amounted to approximately $6.7 million. SIGAR investigations also resulted in an arrest, a criminal information, two plea agreements, and six sentencings in the United States. In Afghanistan, two subjects were convicted and sentenced and eight individuals were barred from having military installation access.
