the auditors evaluated 18 transactions totaling $48,345 and found that none of them complied with any of the internal controls

Extrapolate this result to every other transaction at every agency covering gazillions of dollars. The only way to "fix" it is to eliminate departments, zero-out budgets, fire or pension off employees.

I would see this as an excellent opportunity to remove those employees for fiduciary malfeasance, and use the technique to get rid of hundreds or thousands more besides.
