The first report by the Inspector-General (IG) (WFP EB.3/96/4-c) covered the work carried out between August 1995 and July 1996. The Executive Board decided that in future the IG should report biennially, in parallel with the report on WFP’s Audited Accounts. Some representatives requested that future reports include more details of lessons learned from inspections, which might be of value to other United Nations organizations as well as to WFP. The Board particularly emphasized the importance of the “deterrent effect” of the Inspector-General’s work.
