Audit Questions Iraqi Expenditures
by TChris
An audit has raised questions about the $8.8 billion disbursed by the American occupation authority that governed Iraq until the middle of last year. Much of the money was transferred to Iraqi ministries with no budget or procedures to account for its use.
The report does not cite direct evidence of corruption with the Iraqi ministries but notes, among other examples, that one ministry received money to pay 8,206 guards while the presence of only 602 guards in that ministry could be verified.
