Audit of USAID/Iraq's Iraq Rapid Assistance Program (IRAP)
Recommendations
USAID/Iraq require its implementing partner to establish appropriate procedures for monitoring active IRAP grants to ensure that (1) implementation problems are identified, addressed, and reported to both USAID/Iraq and the responsible USAID PRT representative in a timely manner and (2) the quality of the work performed and goods provided is acceptable and consistent with the intent of the grant.
USAID/Iraq require its implementing partner to establish appropiate procedural controls to ensure that its subcontractors are adhering to prescribed procedures in administering grantee payroll activities.
USAID/Iraq require its implementing partner to establish appropriate financial review procedures to ensure that invoices and other financial records supporting expense claims submitted by the partner's subcontractors are reviewed more thoroughly so that irregularities, such as those identified by the audit, are detected and addressed in a timely manner.
