from your lips to God's ear.  If only it were that easy.  You have 4 military Departments and each of them have a number of components, and money is allocated to each one.  And they all have different need, different missions, different priorites.  You have acquisition dollars, operations and maintenance dollars, you have reimbursible dollars and there are black program dollars. It's not that there aren't standardized accounting and budgeting practices but it is not completely consolidated.  There are reports being generated all the time.  But, as I said previously, it is not a profit making business, there are not stock holders to fire the CEO and sometimes mistakes can be perpetuated for years before they are found.  There isn't even one standardized email system.
