Govt. Accountability Project Questions Relationship of Investigative Firm to Oversite Group
However representatives from the nonproft Government Accountability Project have raised questions about certain INT staff, their history with Volker and their relationship to investigative firm, Diligence, LLC:
To be clear, GAP has not made any explicit allegations of impropriety, but rather seems be suggesting an inquiry to rule out the existence or appearance of funny business. They do point out that the World Bank:Specifically, GAP has learned that Board members and staff are concerned about the connection between Glenn Ware, a Senior Advisor on fraud and corruption at INT, and Diligence LLC, a private firm...
[GAP contends that]...A proper review of INT's practices would involve a probe into Ware's move from the World Bank to Diligence in 2005, and Diligence acquiring an INT contract within sixty days of Ware becoming an employee there.
Adding to that, Ware has since rejoined INT and Diligence has four investigators who worked with Volcker on an independent corruption inquiry into the U.N. oil-for-food program. These four employees also worked for INT earlier.
GAP International Program Director Bea Edwards stated, "Because of his own connections with these Diligence personnel, Volcker cannot impartially evaluate the company's relationship to INT."
...is undertaking this putatively independent review because the Board of Directors, representing the Bank’s shareholder governments, mandated this step in 2006 as a result of complaints about improper activities by INT personnel.You can read more on the Government Accountability Project's concerns via All HeadlineNews or you can read the GAP press release.
