Afghanistan Security Forces Fund Phase III - Accountability for Equipment Purchased for the Afghanistan National Police

Abstract

We determined whether the Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan (CSTC-A) could account for equipment purchased with the Afghanistan Security Forces (ASF) Fund to support the Afghanistan National Police (ANP). We also determined whether CSTC-A properly transferred accountability for the equipment to the ANP. What We Found We identified internal control weaknesses in accounting for equipment provided to the ANP. Specifically, CSTC-A did not have adequate receiving and inventory controls and could not account for all vehicles, radios, and computers purchased for the ANP. In addition, 12 laptop computers purchased with ASF funds and intended for issue to the ANP are currently being used by contractor staff. We also identified internal control weaknesses related to the turnover of equipment to the ANP. CSTC-A did not formally transfer vehicles, radios, or computers to the Afghanistan Government. CSTC-A transferred equipment to the ANP using U.S. Department of the Army hand receipt forms rather than officially transferring ownership and accountability for equipment to the ANP.
