Explain to most anyone how the Department of Defense (DoD) has failed for the last 33 years to pass a financial audit, and their reaction is likely to be: “You mean they don’t know where the money went?” It is, indeed, reminiscent of when Robert Palmer once sang, “She’s so fine, there’s no tellin’ where the money went.” But in truth, Palmer probably knew where some of the money went, and so too does the Department of Defense.

The Department of Defense’s inability to track its finances continues, as the Pentagon failed its seventh audit on Friday. The DoD has a massive budget of $820 billion and spent over $170 million on the failed audit.
