24. What is the Government of Iraq
doing to eliminate corruption in
commerce?
According to the Department of State’s
“Investment Climate Statement of 2015”
for Iraq, “public corruption is a major
obstacle to the development of Iraq’s
economy and to political stability” and as a
result, Iraq has created “three principal
institutions specifically designated to
address the problem of corruption,” which
include:
• Inspector generals, similar to those that
exist in U.S. federal agencies, which
“are responsible for inspections, audits,
and investigations within their
ministries;”
• “The Commission of Integrity (COI),
initially established under the Coalition
Provisional Authority (CPA), is an
independent government commission
responsible for pursuing anti-corruption
investigations, upholding enforcement
of laws, and preventing crime;”
• “The Federal Board of Supreme Audit
(BSA), established in 1927, is an analog
to the U.S. Government’s General
Accountability Office. It is a financially
and administratively independent body
that derives its authority from Law 31
of 2011 – The Law of the Board of
Supreme Audit.”
