The biggest joke of all?? That Doge/Musk can audit these agencies in a day or two, no way.

[uihawk82]

I am not a auditor but for Dodgy Doge to say they have looked at every transaction with their "read-only" access, and tracked those transactions that they call over or underpayments to their conclusion, is way out of the realm of credrulity. They say the found 100 billion in fraud at Medicare by looking at a snapshot of data. A lot of those transactions are probably not finished going through the process.

Any auditors with any thoughts? And tell us what big orgs you audited.

They’re plugging in their private computers to the servers, downloading everything, and throwing it into AI.

The audits are about as real as Elon's gaming skills.

I'm a CPA, I don't do audits anymore but act as the middleman between my clients and the auditors. Their team of 4-5 normally does a week of field work at my client's main office and two weeks of testing/review back at their own office. This is for companies with $100mm - $250mm in revenues.

Also they do not look at every transaction, that's not how regular audits are performed. There is no way that the DOGE team is actually looking at every transaction.

This is what's crazy and why it's infuriating at the way the MSM is covering this and even the way a lot of elected Democrats and liberals are reacting to it.

From everything we know, Elon and the people aren't doing an "audit" and they don't have any relevant experience/expertise to conduct an "audit" anyway.

They're pulling their accusations of fraud/waste from publicly available sources.

It looks like it's just a big hack and trying to get control of the payment functions of the government.

And shutting down USAID is a wet dream for Russia/China and anyone else in the world that considers the United States a competitor or enemy.

When Democrats get control of the House again in 2027 there has to be a thorough investigation of everything that happened here.

I think a decent suditor would have clicked the link and seen they were just citing a previous gao audit report from 2024.

Then, they would have sat down andd enjoyed an ice cold Pepsi.

Thats what I think.

There is no way you can audit an entity with tens of thousand workers and decades of transactions in just one day. The company I work for is currently doing full audits of everything and it's taken months. And obviously we are nowhere near the size of the US government.

Musk is clearly doing very limited searches, probably using search terms, and hitting on whatever red meat they think will sell with the idiot base.

Almost as idiotic as not clicking the link and seeing they were just referring to previous gao work.

But **** me for messing with the narrative.

DOGE has only been at work for a week or so. Yet they already have ready to go public results? There is no way you can zip from agency to agency, do full audits, and release results in a matter of days. It's insane claiming these are real audits. They are political fodder machines.

That is too many syllables for a haiku, but too few subjects and verbs for a sentence.

I ****ing hate college English professors. Between the hairy admitted lady who made us read a harlequin romance because “everything’s political” and the bearded pipe smoker who wouldn’t let me take a Shakespeare course because I wasn’t an English major, they’re everything wrong about academia

Chinese hackers accessed Yellen's computer in US Treasury breach, Bloomberg News reports​

By Reuters
January 16, 2025

The computers of two of Yellen's lieutenants, Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo and Acting Under Secretary Brad Smith, were also breached, the report said.

The hack, what the Treasury called a "major incident", happened in December when Chinese state-sponsored hackers breached the department's computer security guardrails by compromising third-party cybersecurity service provider BeyondTrust, according to Treasury officials.
