Tomorrow I get to go into work and remind all my staff why they should be glad they work as NZ govt auditors and not US ones!

a couple of great highlights in case you cant be bothered to read all 4 pages....

In 2000, the inspector general told Congress that his auditors stopped counting after finding $2.3 trillion Shocked in unsupported entries made to force financial data to agree.
(ok i admit it - i added the smiley)

The Pentagon has repeatedly assured Congress that it is working toward an audit. Yet the projected date continues to slip further away. In 1995, Pentagon officials testified that it could be audited by 2000. In 2006, an audit wasn't envisioned until 2016.
2008 targets: 5k - 21mins (22.29 21.55), 10k - 45mins (49.38 48.12 47.19), HM - 1hr45 (1.50.08 1.44.10)
