entire duration of the oil-for-food program. Record-keeping. The auditors found that the Program Review Board failed to keep proper minutes: The PRB minutes did not always keep minutes of its meetings. The PRB minutes almost never recorded the wording of minutes, or the vote tallies. The auditors felt that the minutes did not record enough details for later readers to understand the reasons why the Board made their decisions. The PRB minutes sometimes did not even record the who attended the meetings. The auditors found that CPA staff responsible for overseeing programs were often unable to find their program files. They could not be counted on to be familiar with the programs they were responsible for. Waxman audit On June 20, 2005 the staff on Congressman Waxman's Committee on Government Reform released a highly critical report. In their International Advisory and Monitoring Board's press release of June 22, 2004 states: "The IAMB was also informed by the CPA that contrary to earlier representations the award of metering contracts have been delayed and continues to urge the expeditious resolution of this critical issue." The CPA was shipping Iraqi oil through a pipeline system with non-functioning meters. The actual amount of oil being shipped would have had to be estimated. The Iraqi people were left in the position where they had to trust that the CPA's estimates were honest. Criticism Lack of transparency The Development Fund for Iraq receives 95 percent of the government proceeds from Iraqi oil sales. The 2003 budget also noted that the Development Fund will provide $1.2 billion for the budget. However, the relationship between the DFI and the budget has not been made clear—the budget anticipated oil revenues of $3.4 billion—much greater than the amount in the DFI then. Moreover, only the Provisional Authority Administrator could authorise spending from the DFI. Little information has been made public about the DFI. The Coalition Provisional Authority excluded information on its web site about any transfer of assets into and out of the DFI.
