Achieving a 2028 Unmodified Financial Statement Audit Opinion : Department of Defense , June 16 , 2025
From the document: “Our oath to support and defend our Constitution is an explicit obligation to the American citizenry. Our guardianship of the nation's largest discretionary budget carries an implicit obligation to the American taxpayer. Achieving an unmodified or ”clean" financial statement audit opinion no later than December 31, 2028, as required by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024, will demonstrate our ability to execute our mission while maintaining the public's trust. Audit success will require transformation through modernization and automation. Anything less than full achievement of our statutory mandate is unacceptable.
