Scott Nathan has been at the helm of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation for a month, and he’s already received some pointed advice from Anthony Zakel, the agency’s independent inspector general, in the form of a letter.
The letter, which was sent this week, outlines four issues that Nathan should address at DFC to improve its operations and effectiveness. Zakel wrote that he sent the letter as part of the Office of Inspector General’s mandate to provide policy guidance to increase the “economy and efficiency” of the agency’s programs.
Nathan thanks Zakel for his “candid thoughts” and welcomes a “frank and warm relationship with the OIG,” according to DFC spokesperson Pooja Jhunjhunwala, who added that Nathan continues to “listen and learn” as he works with DFC staff, the board and the stakeholder community.
