Mission Ready: Accelerating Audit Success
The path to a clean audit opinion in the Department of Defense
The DoD Audit Imperative
A sense of urgency is mounting for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to achieve a clean audit opinion by 2028 as mandated by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. While obtaining a clean audit is the goal, it’s really a by-product of effective financial and operational processes and controls.
Achieving and sustaining clean audit opinions
Given the size of the DoD, it’s clear that finance transformation is not a simple endeavor.
This begs the question:
Is it even possible for DoD agencies to make the transformation necessary to obtain and sustain clean audit options by FY27 or FY28?
