Defense One: The Pentagon Failed Its Audit Again, But Says Bots Could Change That
More widespread use of data analytics and automated tools could result in a clean audit, says Pentagon finance chief.
Another year, another failed financial audit for the Pentagon. But while it could be years before it passes for the first time, the key to getting a clean audit may be contingent on increased use of analytics, bots, and automated systems, according to the Defense Department’s finance chief.
“We failed to get an ‘A’,” Mike McCord, the Pentagon’s comptroller and chief financial officer, told reporters Tuesday, announcing the results of the department’s fifth annual audit. “The process is important for us to do, and it is making us get better. It is not making us get better as fast as we want.”

They are trying audits at the Pentagon.
Are the Russian trying audits? apparently they do not. It is why, when they pull T-72s out of storage, they are missing electronics and other valuable parts.
As op tempo increases and procurement sky rocket, I expect the Pentagon's problems to get worse. It is expected.
Would the Pentagon have passed an audit in WW2? I think not. However the procedures developed due to WW2 and thru the 1950s are amazing. With the advent of the computer age that system fell apart to be replaced in the information age. Still evolving. Still more revolutions. It will work out.
sounds like someone here still gets his or her 10%.
Move along, nothing to see here.
Pen of criminals.
And the surprise is?
