The Pentagon failed an independent audit of its accounting systems for the sixth consecutive year, a Pentagon official said Wednesday.
"Things are showing progress, but it's not enough," Mike McCord, the Defense Department's chief financial officer, told reporters. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin thinks "we need to be doing better at this and moving faster."

Why bother to audit the Pentagon if there are no repercussions for repeated failures?
Nothing can save private snuffy for losing his canteen cover. Yet these generals cam lose millions. In cash. On a pallet.
911 conveniently took out a past audit and evidence.
here today, the black hat-”pentagon” protects Ukraine
more than the American people - despite the Constitution.
Americans inquire:
how much bigger than 911 will THIS FF be?
Fact Check: Rumsfeld did not reveal the loss of $2.3 trillion day before 9/11
"Misleading. Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld did not reveal that the Pentagon had lost $2.3 trillion the day before the September 11, 2001, attacks. The DoD had mentioned this number, which reflects transactions that could not be tracked, more than a year earlier."
Fact remains, DoD could not account for $2.3 trillion. Looks like 23 years later, nothing has been done. Then again, it makes it easier to say... lose a bunch of military hardware in places like Afghanistan, or divert money supposedly sent to help the people in Ukraine.
Probably can’t get the number of males and females on board to come out right.
I am assuming there is straight up embezzlement going on.
Of course in the real world private contractors are debarred from future government contracts if they continually demonstrate an inability to implement effective containment, remedial, corrective, and preventive actions. Same as it ever was.
Make it a triangle. Something Newt once said.
The function needs to be moved in the country’s midsection for security purposes. No one would want to work there. A friend who worked at the Pentagon once told me that all the attractive women worked there amongst the high-ranking officers.
What a surprise.
I wonder why some promotions are being held up?
Maybe it’s because they should be.
There’s no law saying weak, incompetent, cowardly, criminal officers can’t resign.
If the accounting systems “worked” they couldn’t launder money through Ukrania
BESIDES the gun running operation to the Taliban
I’ve worked at publicly traded companies. You are not allow “to fail” a single audit.
This government is pathetic. (And some of you think sending money to Ukraine is a lost cause. Sending it to Arlington is akin to throwing down a well.)
Lobbyists have happy hour.
