Iraq reconstruction funds forensic audits identifying fraud, waste, and abuse. Interim report 3

"Public Law 108-106 requires the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) to prepare a final forensic audit report on all funding appropriated for the reconstruction of Iraq, which to date totals more than $53 billion. This interim report presents the results of our ongoing forensic auditing program, including an update on our efforts to identify questionable financial activity and an update on our review of agency expenditures. The report also presents information on our data mining methodology. We are reporting our results periodically, and a final cumulative report will eventually address all available reconstruction funds. ... SIGIR continues its forensic review of Department of Defense (DoD), Department of State (DoS), and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) expenditures. These reviews systematically examine Iraq reconstruction program expenditures to identify anomalies in transactional data that may indicate fraud, waste, or abuse. SIGIR's approach combines automated data mining with standard audit and investigative techniques to detect questionable transactions and develop relevant evidence for use in administrative actions or civil or criminal fraud prosecutions."
