Chapter 2
SYSTEMIC DYSFUNCTION
2-14 WRONG USE OF AUDIT AND IGs
It seems that humankind has sought to improve life since the beginning of time ... but progress has been slow. Progress has accelerated in the last few hundred years, but results have been mixed with some progress faster and better than others.

The US General Accountability Office
The US General Accountability Office (GAO) is a watchdog agency in the US Government structure, and there are other oversight agencies that have been charged with looking into the accounting and performance issues in connection with US fund flows to Iraq ... but nothing much of substance seems to have been produced. There is a lot wrong about this, and someday there should be an accounting about this. From what appears in the press it is multiple $ billions that are unaccounted for.
