DOD Will Pass Audit by 2028, Comptroller Confirms
June 18, 2025 | By C. Todd Lopez, DOD News |   

The Marine Corps has already passed a financial audit, and the Defense Department has until 2028 to do the same, the department's comptroller said today during a hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee in Washington.


A woman and a man, both dressed in business attire, sit at a long wooden desk next to another man, wearing a military dress uniform. A group of people sit behind them.


"The first day we came in, [the audit] was one of the first topics the secretary and I discussed, and he actually just put out a memo with guidance for milestones each fiscal year that the department is going to [meet in order] to achieve the financial audit by 2028 or sooner — as he has challenged us to do," said Bryn Woollacott MacDonnell, who is currently performing the duties of the Defense Department comptroller.
MacDonnell noted that in addition to the Marine Corps, two other DOD components have passed an audit.

"Within the next three years, under the secretary's guidance, the remainder of the department will achieve the clean audit opinion," she said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

If it is going to take that long, and probably longer being a government estimate, the DOD paperwork must be FUBAR.  My question; was it deliberate? :pondering:

If they can't pass an audit now, then how will they be able to pass one after three more years of 'business as usual'?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If you want to save money, the easiest solution is to put in place a spending freeze the last week in August.  It would blow your mind how much money gets spent the last few weeks of the fiscal year out of fear of having money left over (which ideally should be the objective).
