More than $67 billion in oil revenue was obtained through the program, with $31 billion in humanitarian assistance delivered to Iraq. The 2005 Defense Authorization Act mandated that GAO review the Oil for Food program. GAO reviewed how the UN adhered to five key internal control standards in its stewardship of the program. GAO assessed (1) the program's control environment and (2) key elements of the other internal control standards. GAO also reported on the UN Compensation Commission's progress in paying reparations from Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-330/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-330.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-330/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-330.pdf GAO-06-330 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-330 Other Written Product GAO-06-330; United Nations: Lessons Learned from Oil for Food Program Indicate the Need to Strengthen UN Internal Controls and Oversight Activities; Food relief programs Foreign aid programs Foreign governments Internal controls International food programs International organizations International relations International trade restriction Monitoring Program abuses Program management Reparations Risk assessment Sanctions Lessons learned Iraq United Nations Oil for Food Program
