Marines Pass Third Consecutive Clean Audit
6.1
Relevance ScoreThe Marine Corps announced on Monday that it passed its third consecutive clean financial audit, remaining the only U.S. military service to do so since audits became mandatory in 2018. Officials credited years of systems modernization, automation and AI tools that reduced reconciliation work, noting one system saved 20,000 hours; auditors still identified seven areas of weakness. Pentagon leaders aim for service-wide auditability by 2028 amid near-$840 billion annual defense budgets.
