Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) is a United States govenment agency. Congress created the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction to provide independent and objective oversight of these funds. Under the authority of Section 1229 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (PL 110-181), SIGAR conducts audits and investigations to promote efficiency and effectiveness of reconstruction programs, and to detect and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars. SIGAR also has a "hotline" that allows individuals to report suspected fraud.

Its major goals are as follows:[1]

  • improve effectiveness of the overall reconstruction strategy and its component programs
  • improve management and accountability over funds administered by U.S. and Afghan agencies and their contractors
  • improve contracting and contract management processes
  • prevent fraud, waste, and abuse
  • advance U.S. interests in reconstructing Afghanistan

History

Leadership. President Barack Obama designated Steven J. Trent as Acting Special Inspector General on September 3, 2011, a post previously held by Arnold Fields.

Accomplishments. According to SIGAR's October 2011 Report to Congress, it had:

  • published 50 audit reports
  • recovered $50 million in FY2011
  • made 54 referrals for suspension or debarment that have resulted in 3 finalized debarments, 6 suspensions, and

45 proposals for debarments

By the end of December 2011, SIGAR staff members were stationed in several locations across the country, including Kandahar and Bagram Air fields, Camp Stone in Herat Province, Camp Leatherneck in Helmand Province, and Forward Operating Base Salerno in Khost Province. According to the organization's January 2012 Report to Congress, SIGAR’s had 133 federal employees. Because of the significant increase in reconstruction funding in FY 2011 and FY 2012, SIGAR said it plans to build its staff to 180 full-time employees in FY 2012, a significant increase from 2009, when there were only four investigators.[2]
