Not that you'll be surprised.
...officials warned that weak oversight systems leave federal programs vulnerable to both waste and fraud if longstanding deficiencies are not fixed. The report explained that improper payments “can include overpayments, underpayments, and payments where an agency is unable to determine whether a payment was proper because of insufficient or lack of documentation.”
The report identified seven federal agencies with programs that posted improper payment rates above 10% for multiple consecutive years between 2021 and 2024.
Five of those agencies, including the Departments of Labor, Education, Health and Human Services, Treasury and Agriculture, lacked sufficient internal procedures to secure timely reporting and monitoring of payment integrity problems. GAO said those agencies did not always provide “complete and timely information” as required under federal law....
You can hear the discussion. "Gee, boss, we can't find documentation for this spend. What should we do?" Boss: "Write a check, dammit. It's not YOUR money."
Notice that the "We NEVER pass an audit and go suck our ass if you think we care!!!" Pentagon is missing from that list? We did, too.
Think Hegseth gives a rip? We don't, either.
