Audit of the DoD’s Financial Management of the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (DODIG-2023-082)

The objective of this audit was to determine whether the DoD managed the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (ASFF) appropriated funds in the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Trust Fund in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This audit was performed due to previously identified risks related to the DoD’s transfer of ASFF appropriated funds to the FMS Trust Fund and the sudden collapse of the Afghan government. Data reliability and supporting documentation issues, described in the Scope and Methodology section, limited our ability to perform tests on the underlying transactions for the ASFF funds.
