Truth in Accounting talks about the Defense Department's finances with Mandy Smithberger from the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) and former TIA director of research Bill Bergman; we also discuss the newly released Defense Department Audit Report Card 2021. Moderated by Courtney Bublé._________________In December 2020, the Defense Department (DoD) issued its latest annual Agency Financial Report. The financial statements in this report were a part of the third consecutive full-scope, department-wide audit. The COVID pandemic posed some special challenges and issues for the latest audit. The process took longer than in the previous year, but when all was said and done, the DoD received another disclaimer (failing) audit opinion on its financial statements. With this report, Truth in Accounting ranks DoD component entities based on their fiscal year (FY) 2020 audit performance. We issue this ranking to identify relative strengths and weaknesses in financial reporting, to track progress over time, and to identify agency leaders who serve as good examples for the department as a wholeRead the full report at:https://www.truthinaccounting.org/news/detail/defense-department-audit-report-card-2021_________________Subscribe to Truth in Accounting here: https://bit.ly/2uygGER The official Truth in Accounting YouTube channel is your primary destination for informative and entertaining videos on government finances.

Truth in Accounting discusses bad accounting practices in state and local governments across the United States and how to change them with Kevin Bronner from the University at Albany. _________________Currently, the 50 states are required by law to balance their budgets. However, because governments use cash-based accounting, budgets that appear balanced are anything but balanced.With cash-based accounting, financial reports show expenses only when money is paid, not when debt or future expenses are incurred. This presents a flawed and inaccurate picture of governments’ financial condition. Full accrual calculations and techniques (FACT) accounting provides a more holistic view of government finances. Now is the time to advocate for common-sense reforms to government accounting and financial reporting requirements.

It is neither a left nor right issue, only an issue of transparency and accountability.Professor Jacob Soll said it best, "Let's just say we can argue about debt, but my god, we can't argue about managing debt badly."
