IG Seeks Help in Combating Fraud

Arnold Fields, the special inspector general in charge of monitoring compliance during Afghanistan reconstruction, wants help in eliminating fraud, waste and mismanagement of the U.S. taxpayers’ money that underwrites the project. “We need the help of those on the front lines,” Fields said June 19. “If they see something they believe is suspicious or illegal, we are asking them to tell us so we can look into it.” To report activities, phone +93(0)700-10-7300 (from Afghanistan); +1-866-329-8893 (international); 318-237-2575 (DSN); 312-664-0378 (DSN International); or +1-703-604-0983 (AAX).
