The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria named Norbert Hauser as Interim Inspector General. The announcement described Mr. Hauser as “a highly-respected lawyer and international auditor who recently retired after a distinguished 35-year career in government and financial supervision” with “extensive experience supervising financial and legal matters, (who) served until 2011 as Vice President of Germany’s Supreme Audit Institution. His reputation for independence, integrity and honesty is unsurpassed.” Simon Bland, Chair of the Global Fund Board, said, “We could not wish for a better person than Norbert Hauser to fill this interim role. We are delighted that he is able to provide this support to the Global Fund at the current time.”
