Finding DEF-3.1: Primary record The DoD Inspector General issued a disclaimer of opinion on the department-wide financial statements in each of fiscal years 2018 through 2025, eight years in a row. GAO reports that DoD is the only one of the 24 Chief Financial Officers Act agencies that has never obtained a clean opinion.
Finding DEF-3.3: Primary record The DoD Inspector General counted 20 agency-wide material weaknesses in fiscal year 2018, 25 in 2019, 26 in 2020, 28 in each of 2021 through 2024, and 26 in 2025. The Inspector General states that comparing these counts from year to year is not a reliable way to measure progress.
