Senate votes to require DHS clean audit by 2013

The Homeland Security Department would be required to conduct and pass a full financial audit under a bill unanimously approved by the Senate on Wednesday. The DART Act requires the agency, long characterized by the Government Accountability Office as being at high-risk for waste and abuse, to reach a clean audit opinion by 2013.

    DHS and a putative clean audit in 2013
    Jeremiah
    This is another example of the type of "feel good" legislation that is often generated primarily for the media attention it garners its sponsors than anything else. And what will be the horrendous consequences if DHS doesn't meet the new legal mandate (assuming it becomes law - not a given)? Then they'll positively, absolutely, cross-our-hearts-and hope to-be-re-elected have to do so in 2014. Enough already.
