[paragraph_left][block] Left Side Content [/block][block] Right Side Content [/block][/paragraph_left]The State Dept. states that it doesn’t know what happened to $6 billion over the past 6 years – claiming there just wasn’t enough oversight.
So they just forgot to make sure that someone was watching billions of dollars and now there’s no way to trace what happened.
Right!
he State Department has no idea what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors.
In a special “management alert” made public Thursday, the State Department’s Inspector General Steve Linick warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at the department has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years.
The alert was just the latest example of the federal government’s continued struggle with oversight over its outside contractors.

The lack of oversight “exposes the department to significant financial risk,” the auditor said. “It creates conditions conducive to fraud, as corrupt individuals may attempt to conceal evidence of illicit behavior by omitting key documents from the contract file. It impairs the ability of the Department to take effective and timely action to protect its interests, and, in tum, those of taxpayers.”
In the memo, the IG detailed “repeated examples of poor contract file administration.” For instance, a recent investigation of the closeout process for contracts supporting the mission in Iraq, showed that auditors couldn’t find 33 of the 115 contract files totaling about $2.1 billion. Of the remaining 82 files, auditors said 48 contained insufficient documents required by federal law.
In another instance, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement issued a $1 billion contract in Afghanistan that was deemed “incomplete.”

The auditor recommended that the State Department establish a centralized system to track, maintain and retain contract files.
The department responded and said it concurred with the recommendations to address the “vulnerability” in its contracting process.
Before Linick took office last fall, the State Department had been without an inspector general position for five years—the longest IG vacancy in the government’s history, as noted in The Washington Post.
All the funding to terrorists, personal vacations, and however much the Obama’s have in personal accounts. Be good places to look.

JUST CROOKS
damned crooks are robbing us blind and people are just too dumb to see it
witch terrorist group did hillary and obama give to this time
This was done under Hillary’s command, does this better qualify her for President. The current group of lead Democrats at the Fereral level, are a total joke. I hear the states run by a Democratic Governor, are mostly in financial trouble, and the Cities with Democratic Moyors are going broke the fastest and with very poor schools. Look at Obama’s 8 Trillion Dollars of debt in as little as 6 years, while it took a acummulation of all other Presidents over two hundred years for the same amount of debt. Name one positive thing, Obama has done for the American Tax Payer. He keeps raising our taxes, and has us in an additional 8 Trillion Dollars of debt. I have to laugh at the people who were dum enough, to vote such a loser back into office, after he did nothing the first term, except, add to future debt through the failure of Obama Care (ACA LAW). There must be an Audit of were our money is going! Vote in all Republican Senators this November, because they never lyed about ACA, and keeping your policy, doctor, and the cost not going up. They have submitted hundreds of Bills and the President and Harry Reid, will not even look at them.
Believe me its not missing its being hide. And someone know where is the money
Check Hillarie’s pocketbook!!!
