From Jason Miller’s story on FederalNewsRadio.com:

“Daniel Werfel has some sober news for the Defense Department and its inability to close its financial books each year.

“Werfel, the nominee to be the Office of Management and Budget’s controller, told lawmakers Wednesday that the DoD chief financial officer needs to convince the military program managers that obtaining a clean audit will benefit their mission…

“OMB says 21 of 24 Chief Financial Officer’s Act agencies received clean audit opinions and closed their financial books in 45 days in 2008.”

I played highlights from Mr. Werfel’s confirmation hearing before a subcommittee of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee yesterday. I also got some analysis of the hearing from attendee Mike Hettinger, a Director at Grant Thornton Global Public Sector.
