Corporate Governance for Contractors Performing Iraq Reconstruction Efforts

Abstract

The Coalition Provisional Authority, Office of the Inspector General (CPA-IG), pursuant to Public Law 108-106, "The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for the Defense and Reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan," November 6, 2003, is conducting a series of reviews related to the contracts awarded in support of the Iraq relief and reconstruction efforts. The review of corporate governance is an element of the CPA-IG efforts to deter and detect any fraud, waste, and abuse within the Iraq reconstruction efforts. We judgmentally selected five contractors performing work in Iraq for our audit of corporate governance programs. As part of the CPA-IG efforts to deter and detect any fraud, waste, and abuse within the Iraq reconstruction efforts, this audit directly reviewed corporate governance programs. Future audits will include an assessment of corporate governance programs in the audit scope once a particular review identifies weaknesses in corporate internal controls. Public Law 108-106 authorized $18.4 billion for security, relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction in Iraq. The Project and Contracting Office manages all activities associated with program, project, asset, construction, and financial management of the reconstruction efforts undertaken by the United States. The Project and Contracting Office established six sectors for the reconstruction effort: Building/Education/Health, Communications/Transportation, Electrical, Oil, Public Works/Water, and Security/Justice.
