Description
With billions of dollars in CARES Act funding yet to be spent and several billion more potentially in the appropriations pipeline, it’s far too early to tell how effectively the Defense Department is spending its share of the disaster funding.
But according to the Pentagon’s inspector general, DoD – and its auditors – have more than enough experience with prior emergencies to know what to do, and what not to do, to make sure money is spent well even when contracts have to be executed quickly.
On this week's program, Theresa Hull, the assistant inspector general for acquisition issues joins Jared Serbu to discuss a new special report that tries to outline what the OIG considers best practices for contracting under time pressure.
