US Defence Department to hold its first-ever financial audit
US' Department of Defense (DoD) plans to conduct an agency-wide financial audit for the first time in its history. Nearly 2,400 auditors will review DoD's $2.4 trillion in assets, including personnel, real estate and weapons. "It is important that the Congress and the American people have confidence in DoD's management of every taxpayer dollar," Defence Department Comptroller David Norquist said.
