Dear [Sen./Rep.] [LAST NAME]:

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding the recent failure of the Pentagon's annual audit, as outlined in the Defense Department's yearly financial report released on Wednesday.

The Pentagon, once again, has fallen short of providing auditors with sufficient information for a comprehensive accounting evaluation, resulting in the virtual unaccountability of $3.8 trillion in military assets. This recurring failure has prompted harsh criticism from members of Congress, leading to the introduction of bills seeking to penalize the Pentagon for its consistent audit failures.

The gravity of this issue cannot be understated, especially considering the magnitude of funds involved and the lack of accountability demonstrated by the Defense Department. The recent audit reaffirms the Pentagon's reluctance to hold itself accountable and signals a continued trend of annual audit failures.

I urge you to consider reintroducing the Audit the Pentagon Act to impose penalties on the Pentagon for its ongoing audit failures. This bipartisan effort, exemplified by a group of senators this summer, proposed a 1% budget surrender for any military component failing annual audits. Given the recent audit results, reinstating this Act is imperative to hold the Pentagon accountable for its recurrent failures.

Furthermore, the Defense Department's prolonged presence on the Government Accountability Office's (GAO) High-Risk List since 1995, despite substantial investments in business and financial systems, raises questions about the effectiveness of allocated funds. The failure to address these issues not only impedes the achievement of a clean audit but also raises concerns about proper accountability and auditing procedures.

As a concerned citizen, I implore you to take action to address these shortcomings. Congress must insist on a clean audit, proper asset accounting, and ensure that funds are used as claimed. Additionally, advocating for the Audit the Pentagon Act is crucial to penalize military components failing audits, compelling them to surrender 1% of their budget.

A significant portion of the unaccounted-for money is derived from American taxpayer dollars, making it imperative to demand accountability and transparent audits from the Pentagon. It is time to rectify the Pentagon's failings and reinforce accountability measures to ensure responsible use of funds.

Sincerely,
Signed
