Oversight of Funds Provided to Iraqi Ministries through the National Budget Process

摘要

In June 2005, we initiated this audit to determine whether the information systems used by U.S. government organizations resulted in the effective management of Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF) programs. Issuance of this audit report was delayed to take into consideration significant management improvement actions that took place in September 2005. At that time, the Director, Iraq Reconstruction Management Office (IRMO), required a unified IRRF reporting system be developed and directed all agencies spending IRRF dollars to load and update project data in the system. Preliminary findings from this audit were used as input for the development of the requirements contained in the September 20, 2005, Action Memorandum issued by the IRMO Director (see Appendix B). This audit report is one of a series of reports addressing the information technology (IT) and management information systems being used to support IRRF programs and their ability to produce reliable and accurate information. This report discusses the development, management and evolution of the Iraq Reconstruction Management System (IRMS).
