In a special “management alert” made public Thursday, the State Department’s Inspector General Steve Linick warned “significantfinancial risk and a lack of internal control at the department has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years. (snip)The lack of oversight “exposes the department to significantfinancial risk,” the auditor said. “It creates conditions conducive to fraud, as corrupt individuals may attempt to conceal evidence of illicit behavior by omitting key documents from the contract file. It impairs the ability of the Department to take effective and timely action to protect its interests, and, in tum, those of taxpayers.”In the memo, the IG detailed “repeated examples of poor contractfile administration.” For instance, a recent investigation of the closeout process for contracts supporting the mission in Iraq, showed that auditors couldn't find 33 of the 115 contract files totaling about $2.1 billion. Of the remaining 82 files, auditors said 48 contained insufficient documents required by federal law.In another instance, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement issued a $1 billion contract in Afghanistan that was deemed “incomplete.”
Imagine Hillary Clinton debating one of the several GOP governors who have established budget discipline and led their states to solvency. Scott Walker, for instance.
