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.
