SIGAR's Audits and Inspections Directorate conducts audits and inspections of reconstruction activities in Afghanistan. These audits are aimed at a wide range of programs and activities to fulfill SIGAR's legislative mandate by improving program efficacy; issuing internal control and compliance recommendations to funding agencies; and identifying potential waste, fraud, and abuse. During my tenure with SIGAR, I performed the following activities: ▪ Reviewed audit plans, draft reports, and conducted quality control reviews of reports that assessed DOD, State, and USAID implementing partner's compliance with federal laws, agency regulations, and award terms.▪ Compiled and prepared supporting documentation for SIGAR reports. Updated standard documentation to ensure compliance with updated federal requirements.▪ Identified awards for Afghanistan reconstruction programs using a risk-based approach to ensure the broadest possible coverage for SIGAR's oversight of federal funding.▪ Assisted with the preparation of the SIGAR Quarterly Reports issued to the U.S. Congress by verifying the status of funds for Afghanistan reconstruction programs. ▪ Authored an Alert Letter to the Department of State regarding its failure to comply with federal statues and address recommendations that prompt the recovery of funds, improve internal control deficiencies, and address instances of noncompliance by its implementing partners.
