A report by the auditor general says there is “frequent disregard” for procurement policies across numerous government departments and agencies with $209 million in contracts awarded to a global consulting firm.
“We found that the organizations’ awarding of the contracts showed a frequent disregard for federal contracting and procurement policies and guidance,” Auditor General Karen Hogan said in her opening statement before the Public Accounts Committee June 4. “We also found that each organization’s own practices often did not demonstrate value for money.”
