Marine Corps Faces 'Material Weaknesses,' Violated Antideficiency Act

摘要

The Marine Corps is struggling with "material weaknesses" that could hinder the service's financial reporting ability, according to a previously unreleased report by the Defense Department inspector general's office. The report points to eight previously identified areas of deficiencies that remain problematic and identifies two new areas of weaknesses: advances and prepayments, and military pay. "These financial management deficiencies may cause inaccurate management information," the inspector general's office writes. "As a result, Marine Corps management decisions based in whole or in part on this information may be adversely affected."
