Independent and Objective Oversight of Ukrainian Assistance Act
HR 855 establishes an independent Office of the Special Inspector General to oversee U.S. military, economic, and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. This office will conduct audits, investigate waste or fraud, and issue quarterly public reports detailing every dollar spent on projects, including contract costs, project-by-project spending, and how funds were allocated. The oversight office reports directly to Congress and has authority to investigate aid programs without interference from agencies like Defense or State, while requiring transparency in spending details. The bill authorizes $20 million in funding for this oversight from existing aid budgets.
