2013 represents 18 years on the High Risk List for the Defense Department. DoD has a 2017 deadline for a clean audit, but it’s also required to make interim progress by 2014.

On this week’s edition of Pentagon Solutions, Francis discusses whether the Pentagon will meet those deadlines and the challenges it has in meeting them.

Francis’ guests today include:

• Al Tucker, former deputy chief financial officer at the Department of Defense; former deputy assistant inspector general for audit in the Office of the Inspector General at the Department of Defense, and former executive director of the American Society of Military Comptrollers
• Asif Khan, director of financial management and assurance at the Government Accountability Office

This interview is part of the special report, Rise of the Money People.
