GAO: Pentagon will likely fail audits through 2028

“DOD has failed every audit since it was legally required to submit to one each year beginning in 2018. In fact, the Pentagon is the only one of 24 federal agencies that has not been able to pass an unmodified financial audit since the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990. For more than two decades, the GAO has given over 100 recommendations on how the Pentagon can fix its financial weaknesses. Most cases are still open, with no progress satisfied other than a ‘leadership commitment.’ Additionally, many of the thousands of identified deficiencies found in its 2018 audit remain outstanding.” (05/07/25)
