What We Did:
The Department of War (DoW) prepared its FY 2025 DoW Agency-Wide Financial Statements as required by Congress and the Office of Management and Budget. Sound financial management gives leaders accurate information, protects taxpayer resources, and supports the DoW mission. The DoW OIG reviewed the statements for compliance with accounting standards and advised the Department on resolving identified issues.
The DoW OIG completed its annual audit and, as in prior years, issued a disclaimer of opinion because the DoW and its Components could not provide sufficient reliable evidence to demonstrate that the statements were fairly presented. The audit identified 26 material weaknesses, representing significant deficiencies that increase the risk of undetected errors.
This report summarizes the FY 2025 audit results and identifies the organizations that most contributed to each material weakness. FY 2026 audits remain ongoing and are not addressed in this report.
