SIGIR Quarterly Report and Semiannual Report to the United States Congress
Abstract
In May 2003, the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) was created to oversee and operate the interim governing authority in Iraq and to establish appropriate governmental oversight. In November 2003, the Congress established the Office of the Inspector General of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA-IG) through Public Law 108-106. Under the mandate imposed by that Act, the CPA-IG has worked to promote the efficient, legal, and effective use of approximately $49 billion in U.S. appropriated and other funds committed to Iraq relief and reconstruction by coordinating and conducting investigations and audits of the reconstruction effort. Since beginning operations in late January 2004, the CPA-IG has focused its resources on high-value oversight issues to enhance the Iraq relief and reconstruction process. As of July 12, 2004, the CPA-IG was operating at nearly full strength, with 104 staff members (29 in Baghdad and 75 in Washington, D.C.) pursuing the CPA-IG's substantial oversight mission. In the short time that it has existed, the CPA-IG has: completed 11 audits, with 7 others ongoing and multiple audits planned closed or referred 42 investigations, with 27 others in progress received and processed 222 Hotline submissions launched four strategic initiatives trained 29 new Iraqi Inspectors General, covering all Iraqi ministries.
