COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION
REF: STATE 37649
1. As Charge d'Affaires of the United States Embassy in
Damascus, I have taken the necessary measures to ensure that
our employee association is managed prudently and is in full
compliance with its charter and bylaws, 6 FAM 500
regulations, applicable to U.S. law, and all legal
requirements of the Government of Syria. I also assure you
that an adequate system of internal controls is in place to
protect the assets of the association and the interests of
the U.S. government and that all reporting requirements, to
include in-house financial statements, independent audit or
review report, board's statement of auditor's independance
and Post Profile update have been submitted to A/OPR/CR on
time. Finally, I certify that post does not procure services
from the association or does so only with an approved waiver
from the Office of the Procurement Executive (FAR 3.601).
2. As previously reported, post continues to dispute an
erroneous transportation charge from 2003 in the amount of
USD 65,000. This disputed amount has been duly noted in each
audit report.
3. This certification was signed on May 31, 2009, by Charge
d'Affaires Maura Connelly.
