Would require public disclosure of weaknesses behind failed Defense Department audits

Fallon says the Department of Defense should publicly release the “material weaknesses” that led to each failed audit. He argues that the department must account for every dollar it spends and says Congress needs to help reform the audit process, which he describes as hindered by outdated systems, bureaucracy and the department’s size. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, he says he will continue to advocate for reform.
