Gary, quite true but if one values their career path, being a more effective procurement officer is a good move. There is such a thing as being a competent professional.

Just saying the audit function the GAO provides is not the audit function that Congress should require of the executive branch spending. An oversight by the authors of the Constitution.

I don't think large corporations are much better than our govt. in terms of internal audits. Just look at HBSC, General Motors, Boeing, BP, Microsoft, HP and the list goes on. People usually do the best they can given their circumstances. Good internal auditing would have saved the companies billions each. This is one of the costs of being human I guess.

Your attempt to change the subject is noted, with amusement, Gary. Good try to move the conversation to a different far-right target, to distract from the fact that you lost this one.

:^D

Have you read an appropriations bill?
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-111hr1105enr/pdf/BILLS-111hr1105enr.pdf
Where does it order anything spent?

It says government employees of department X may spend up to $ as they see fit.

Here is the tricky part. Who audits? What happens if they spend too much? What happens if they don't spend it all?

I have know idea if this is still true today. But when I was in the Air Force at the end of the fiscal year all sorts of stupid projects would be done to use up that years budget money. Seems that they would loose that amount of money in the next years budget.
So lets punish an organization by being frugal by decreasing the budget they get next year. Maybe in daft but any money saved should be carried over at the same budget for next year. And if somehow you get a full budget in left over money then you just get a 10% adjustment for 1 year.

I always thought that was stupid. I remember from my time in the Civil Service departments trying to spend their budget at the end of the year or they'd lose it the next year. Never made sense to me.

In my time with "offical budgets" it was trying to spend the allocated +10% so that you could justify an increase next year.
