Sen. Joseph Lieberman, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, has declined to comment directly about the Government Accountability Office's upcoming report on the Defense Contract Audit Agency. But, in a statement Thursday to Government Executive, it's clear the chairman is not pleased with the watchdog's latest findings.
"Since our last hearing on problems with the DCAA, the agency has made some improvements, but serious problems remain," Lieberman said. "Across DCAA, many audits have fallen short of professional standards and the agency needs to impress upon its employees that their ultimate responsibility is to the U.S. taxpayers. Our Committee will have to consider what additional changes are appropriate to ensure the integrity and independence of DCAA audits, including legislative changes if necessary."
