Problems / Solutions

The book that will not add

The book that cannot be added, the payment that cannot be documented, the auditor on the client’s payroll. The money as debt is on the Finance pages. The war as a mission is on the Security pages. The subsidy is on the Business pages. The clinic that captures the claim is on the Health pages.

Problem
Unauditable books

DoD FY2025: eighth consecutive disclaimer. $4.65 trillion in assets the auditor could not bless. GAO: still the only major agency never to have a clean opinion.

Solution
Open the books

A ledger that can be added. A book that is not a pile.

Problem
Improper payments

GAO FY2025: $186 billion estimated — $24 billion more than the year before. About $3 trillion since FY2003.

Solution
Trace the payment

No voucher, no outlay. A dollar that left must still have a name.

Problem
Audit capture

PCAOB 2024: four firms over about 80 percent of listed market cap. One in five of their inspected audits still deficient.

Solution
An auditor who is not the client

The check cannot be the fee. A second pair of eyes that does not live on the invoice.
