Senate Panel Wants Pentagon Commitment On Key Auditing Milestone

摘要

A Senate panel wants the Pentagon to set an interim deadline for a key audit-readiness milestone to ensure defense officials meet their upcoming goals. In its version of the fiscal year 2014 defense authorization bill, the Senate Armed Services Committee wants the Defense Department "to publish a date certain to achieve a significant interim step" of the audit readiness of the existence and completeness of assets, according to a summary of the legislative language. This date should call for the department to "achieve this legal requirement by 2017," the summary states.
