I think they've been working on that. The size of our military and the amount of logistics that occurs requires a tremendous amount of supply chain infrastructure that is not all wired up in to some centralized system.
You can imagine the complexity of auditing the work of tens of thousands of different individuals annually with 100% coverage in a system distributed all over the world that has just tons and tons of constant hard real world material needs day after day, year after year.
My understanding of the situation is that these early year audits were never expected to be a full audit of the entire DoD but the results of the path towards a more auditable system and that we'll see that number of unaccounted for assets continue to shrink over time.
It's only in the last decade or so a system that'd be auditable would be possible without it divesting huge amounts of manual resources at the accounting department as far as I can tell.
