An audit of the Pentagon's finance systems and weapons stocks has made it easier for President Joe Biden's administration to locate and ship weapons to Ukraine, even though auditors gave the U.S. Department of Defense a failing grade.
The Pentagon racked up its fifth consecutive annual comprehensive audit failure, with auditors concluding that its internal systems and processes for tracking weapons and finances were still not up to snuff despite some progress, Mike McCord, the department's chief financial officer, told reporters.
The annual legally required audit assesses the record-keeping processes of the Pentagon's weapons systems, military personnel and property around the world.
