$2 trillion? I thought the latest figure was $35 Trillion - and thats just from the Pentagon https://finance.yahoo.com/news/pentagon-35-trillion-accounting-bla

  This article seems to be carefully avoiding a very important contextual question - what's the expected value of these "accounting adjustments" for a large organization?

  So many things wrong with this comment. The 2 trillion we are talking about is 'corrupt' financial activity. Money laundering and this sort of thing. Pentagon financial adjustments are not even close to being related. Lastly the article you posted says 35 trillion in adjustments, but doesn't say how far back in time they went making adjustments, so that number is meaningless. Whoever this reporter is seems to not be familiar with accounting or finance.
