DoD and DOS Need Better Procedures to Monitor and Expend DoD Funds for the Afghan National Police Training Program
Abstract
We conducted this audit in response to a requirement in Public Law 111-383, "Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011" (the FY 2011 Act), January 7, 2011. The FY 2011 Act required that the DoD OIG, in consultation with the Department of State(DOS) OIG, report to Congress within 180 days a description of the Afghan National Police (ANP) training program that included: (A) components, planning, and scope; (B) cost to DoD and DOS; (C) allocation of DoD and DOS funding, oversight, and execution responsibilities; (D) personnel requirements; and (E) an assessment of the cost, performance metrics, and planning associated with the transfer of ANP training program contract administration from DOS to DoD. The FY 2011 Act also required the OIGs to conduct followup activities on DoD IG Report No. D-2010-042 and DOS IG Report No. MERO-A-10-06, "DoD Obligations and Expenditures of Funds Provided to the Department of State for the Training and Mentoring of the Afghan National Police," February 9, 2010 (the February 2010 joint audit report). Our initial audit objective was to evaluate DoD and DOS efforts to transfer contract administration for the ANP training program from DOS to DoD. Specifically, we planned to assess the cost, performance measures, and planning efforts associated with the transfer to ensure enhanced contract oversight, adequate funding and support, and effective program management. We also planned to follow up on the February 2010 joint audit report. However, we revised our audit objectives and scope after meeting with and obtaining agreement from Senate Armed Services Committee staff members on January 7, 2011.
