Abstract:
This Report is the product of the collective efforts of SIGIR s auditors, inspectors, and investigators who continue to pursue SIGIR s important mission to advise upon and account for the use of the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF). Field work for the Report occurred principally in Iraq, where nearly 50 SIGIR personnel operate daily in perilous conditions to execute comprehensive oversight of the U.S. taxpayers investment in Iraq.The Report is divided into four sections. Section 1 presents SIGIR s observations on current issues affecting the U.S.-led program. Section 2 provides sector-by-sector updates on reconstruction progress. Section 3 lays out SIGIR s most recent audit, inspection, and investigative work. And Section 4 summarizes other agency oversight. During this quarter, the U.S. reconstruction effort in Iraq achieved some important milestones: production of electricity and oil climbed above pre-war levels for the first time in over a year, with electricity output exceeding 5,000 megawatts and oil production reaching 2.5 million barrels per day. The watershed event of this year, however, occurred in May, when the first permanent, democratically-elected government of Iraq took offi ce. Iraq s new unity government now faces many daunting tasks, including improving security, sustaining the infrastructure, and fighting corruption.
