Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction
Abstract
I am pleased to present this 27th Quarterly Report to the Congress and the Secretaries of State and Defense. This quarter, SIGIR published five new audits that address a diverse array of topics, including the Department of Defense (DoD) police training program, DoD's efforts to train and equip the Iraqi Special Operations Force (ISOF), and Department of State (DoS) management of a $50 million grant to the National Democratic Institute (NDI) to support democracy-building activities in Iraq. In addition, SIGIR issued its first evaluation report this quarter, assessing the effects of two U.S.-funded water treatment plants costing a combined $462 million. SIGIR's investigative work also produced significant results, obtaining 7 indictments and 7 convictions since the issuance of our July Report. I am pleased to report that, on October 19, SIGIR's Investigations Directorate and its former Inspections Directorate both received an Award for Excellence from the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE). This marks the second year in a row that CIGIE has honored SIGIR for its investigative work. More than seven months have passed since Iraq's March parliamentary elections, but the country remains without a government.
