U.S. special inspector general Stuart Bowen Jr. reports that the Coalition Provisional Authority disbursed 8.8 billion dollars to Iraqi ministries without adequate accounting. Iraqi audit agencies were nonfunctional when funds were transferred from October 2003 to June 2004, amid security and staffing gaps. Bremer rejects the findings as inaccurate and ill-timed.
