Washington, D.C. - Two audit teams of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) were recognized today for outstanding achievements at the 14th Annual Inspector General Community awards ceremony.
The awards were presented by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) at an event featuring a keynote address by Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr.
"I'm exceedingly proud of SIGAR's audit teams, who work under demanding and often dangerous conditions and with little fanfare," said Acting Special Inspector General Steven J Trent. "Today's awards recognize their fine work, and are further evidence that SIGAR is on the right track."
One SIGAR audit team was presented the Sentner Award for Dedication and Courage for its work in Laghman Province auditing the Commander's Emergency Response Program. The team consisted of Al Huntington, Milt Naumann, and Paula Braun. The award is named for William "Buddy" Sentner III, a special agent with the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General who was killed in the line of duty in 2006.
Another SIGAR team won an Award for Excellence for its audit of Afghan National Security Force facilities. The team consisted of Huntington, Dorian Herring and Jeffrey Brown.
