DOGE Is Doing the Opposite of Government Auditing

Katie Drummond: Against the birth, the opposite of the DoGe, Musk and even President Trump claimed that he was a maximum transparent group. In fact, we do not know what they do, and what they do and make, and many journalists like you and many of your journalists and other news organizations that know this information and this information. Now I want to withdraw a little because this is the concept of this fraud, waste and financial exploitation in the hearts of all this. Elon Musk is something that is widespread in which the number of allegations are widespread to have the extreme waste, which is widespread, where there are false expenses. In one part of these institutions, the financial power is exploited. Now, how reliable is the claim to start this over the past few months and in your role?

Vittoria Elliott: The 2018 government report covers the 2022 government report department, and saw that it was more than $ 200 billion in wastes, fraud or abuse. So, this is not something, but in the context of the federal budget of $ 7 trillion, it is not broken. I do not think that no one claims that the Democrat or Republic, doge fan or, but a statue, hey, we have a problem we have to solve. This is a very valuable thing. However, one of the auditors I spoke mainly, Doge’s IGS said that the current recommendations of IGS said. They could look at the existing prominent research. In fact, if it was actually dedicated to this because the systems were actually, they could take this work and in fact there is information about it. As I spoke of the actions of the amlators I said, they said that what kind of commemor does not really look. One of the other jobs they say, very auditors are likely to help them, to help them. They will be pleased to work with them, they will be pleased to bring their young talents to their teams to make the inspection system healthier. However, the doge is really deleted some kind, it doesn’t seem really interested.

Katie Drummond: Right. Now Doge and talking about the auditors you are talking about the story, they did not receive friendly words to tell you how to behave in DoGe’s work. Musk and Doge’s federal government actually speak of what happened under the auspices of this idea, the impressions and comments of the DoGe. What do true auditors think about it?

Vittoria Elliott: Yes, to give a somewhat context, first, give an ordinary audit like five different steps, therefore there are five steps for audits. One is where you plan to do this, you sit, say, “This is the type of information that we need to go.” You are who are the interested parties, who are the interview, who is the interview, because they do not enter programs or systems too much, perhaps a kind of map. So it is almost a little ethnographical. You are gone, you have to meet people, “What’s your business? What does that connect with? What does it mean in your system?” You should make the basic understanding of getting to know the program or agency. Then you do the real field work, you go out, you talk to people. For example, hurricane products, in fact, sent auditors, believe that to see what happened to Puerto Rico. You enter the systems, you do such a person’s work. After doing this, they take all this information together together, these analyzes. They talk to agencies, “Hey are the problems we find. You have the opportunity to make them. These are our recommendations.” Then they present it to the institutions, Congress and then follow. They came back and look like, “Hey, we recommended this job. Did you solve this problem?” There is an accountability level to try to make this thing. Thus, there is a very clear concepts of what this is the best experience of this in the government and all these people are doing so. It lasts six to 18 months.
