...it's not that unexpected or unreasonable for a department as large and complex as the Pentagon to take years to reach 100% clean audits. After all, it took DHS a decade.
At that point, DHS had existed for just over a decade. Pentagon opened in 1943. Is there a chance that they'll file a complete audit while USA still exists?
- _djo_ 4y agoDHS didn't start from nothing, it was formed from a bunch of other departments and agencies. Like the Pentagon, there was partial auditing in place in that various levels and entities had internal and external audits, but nothing on the overall organisation level. The Pentagon said it expects to get fully clean audits by FY28. That seems plausible at the current rate of change in their audits.
- Spooky23 4y agoLots an easy statement to make as a pandering politician or internet poster. The military is an insanely complex organization with probably thousands of different financial systems. Whatever a “complete audit” is, you can be sure it will take a long time and get extended many times as congress paints the airplane in flight and changes the standards. The issue is a political football.
