State Department inspector general issues alert over $6 billion in contracting money
By Karen DeYoung April 3, 2014
The State Departments inspector general has warned the department that $6 billion in contracting money over the past six years cannot be properly accounted for and cited significant financial risk and .?.?. a lack of internal control.
The warning was the second management alert in State Department history, both issued by new Inspector General Steve Linick. Linick took over the job in late September, after it had been vacant for nearly six years.
Both the alert, dated March 20, and the departments response a week later, were made public Thursday.
The department said it concurred in all recommendations and outlined steps it will take to address what it agreed is a vulnerability.
Linick initiated the alert format to report on problems that remain unaddressed despite repeatedly being identified in IG audits and investigations. The first alert, released in January in partly classified form, cited significant and recurring weaknesses in the Department of State Information System Security Program.
When President Obama nominated Linick last summer, the inspector generals office had been vacant since January 2008, longer than that of any other federal department in history ---(b/c HRC did not appoint one)

(50,130 posts)...of some FEC trouble...I just glanced at it, but the upshot is that a famous cartoonist, last name Lee, went to FEC because Foundation report showed that he had donated $225,000 to the Foundation, and he has NEVER donated to her and went to the FEC with a sworn declaration and asked for an investigation. Even when the Foundation filed its fourth amended report, his "donation" was still showing. And apparently there was earlier trouble with donations being reported for much inflated amounts than were actually made.
IOW, hiding money. Laundering it.
