SIGIR
The Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR), the successor to the Coalition Provisional Authority Inspector General (CPA-IG), was created by Congress to provide oversight of the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF) and all obligations, expenditures, and revenues associated with reconstruction and rehabilitation activities in Iraq. SIGIR oversight is accomplished via independent audits, field inspections, and criminal investigations into potential fraud, waste, and abuse of funds. This is an archive of SIGIR reports, inspections, audits, and other documents provided by SIGIR to the CCO for distribution.
