Scandalous.

"Pentagon fails sixth audit in a row"

NOT JUST SIX TIMES IN A ROW! HAS NEVER PASSED!

From https://responsiblestatecraft.org/pentagon-audit/  |   the article by CONNOR ECHOLS |  NOV 16, 2023.

"On Wednesday, Pentagon Comptroller Mike McCord revealed that the Department of Defense had failed its sixth audit in a row, with no significant improvements over the last year."

[....]

"The Pentagon remains the only federal agency to have never passed an audit. Its failure to make significant progress has drawn scrutiny from lawmakers"

“'The recent failure of the Pentagon's 6TH audit couldn't make it clearer that we need accountability & transparency,' Paul [Senator Rand Paul] posted on X. 'No institution is above scrutiny, especially the DoD [with] the largest budget of ANY [federal] agency.'”

This Mike McCord ought to be ashamed. Just knows how to speak government gobblydegook for purposes of dissimulation. Shame and scandal!
