SIGIR Audit: Interim Report on Efforts and Further Actions Needed to Implement a Financial Management System in Iraq

Interim Report [Number 08-001] on Efforts and Further Actions Needed to Implement a Financial Management System in Iraq, October 24, 2007

  • “This report discusses a contract between the U.S. Agency for International Development and Bearing Point, Inc. for a broad range of tasks related to economic and financial reforms for Iraq. One of the task orders under that contract was to develop and implement a new Iraq Financial Management System. SIGIR found it difficult to determine specifically what had been developed and implements and how much was expended in developing the system. The Iraqi Ministries continue to operate their legacy financial system and Iraqi user requirements have not been identified and incorporated in the system’s development. In July 2007, the U.S. Embassy ordered the suspension of the IFMIS project pending clarification of Iraqi government support for the system. At present, the Embassy does not have a firm plan or strategy for addressing the next steps in the development of the system.”
