An audit, the goal of the audit isn't to just prove that you're doing everything right. The audit should be used as a management tool to be conducted to tell you where you have deficiencies. So I think The reason we don't have an audit for the Defense Department is because we've been pursuing what should be a requirement, audit readiness. When we should be pursuing just having the audit and then use the information because it's going to be a qualified audit. You're not going to get a clean audit. (00:33–00:41)
