The 18th quarterly report to Congress from the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction states,
"This quarter, SIGIR produced two cumulative reviews of SIGIR's audits and inspections, analyzing the 230 reports produced to date and deriving overarching themes. The reports conclude with a series of lessons learned that supplement and echo the work produced in SIGIR's previous three lessons learned reports. Among other things, these capping reports underscore again how the reconstruction program has been limited by the unstable security environment, the lack of an integrated organizational management structure, the absence of program accountability, the inadequate number and frequent turnover of personnel, and the weak collaboration between U.S. and GOI officials."
