New York (Reuters) - US military funding is so mixed up that a number of fraudulent accounting adjustments have had to be made to create the illusion that accounting is balanced.

The Inspector General of the Defense Department said in a June report that the military had misallocated $ 2,8 trillion worth of accounting items in a quarter of 2015, and $ 6,5 trillion for the full year. The military also lacks receipts and invoices - in many cases they simply created them.

The conclusion of the 2015 Summit Outcome Report was that it was classified as "Material Incorrect". "Forced" adjustments have completely devalued the deadlines because "the defense department and army managers could not count on the data in their accounting system while managing resources and deciding on them."

The revelation that the military is manipulating numbers is the latest example of serious accounting problems plaguing the defense department for decades.

The report confirms that the 2013 Reuters series reveals how the Department of Defense falsified accounting on a large scale in an attempt to close its "books." As a result, it is absolutely impossible to find out how the Defense Department handles public money - more precisely, the largest item in Congress' annual budget.

The new report focuses on the Army General Fund, the largest with two main accounts, with assets of $ 282,6 trillion by 2015. The military has lost or retained the necessary data - the rest it had was inaccurate, the inspector general said.

"Where's the money going? No one knows, "said Franklin Spinney, Pentagon analyst and retired defense planning critic.

The importance of these accounting problems outweighs the mere interest in balancing accounting books, Spinney noted. Both presidential candidates have called for increased defense spending amid the current global tension.

Accurate accounting might reveal deeper issues about how the defense department spends money. The 2016 budget is 573 trillions of dollars, more than half of the annual budget dedicated to the congress.

Army accounting errors are likely to have implications for the entire defense department.

Congress has set a deadline for the audit department to be September 30, 2017. Problems with the military's accounting raise doubts as to whether it can meet the "black dot" deadline for defense, as every other federal agency undergoes that audit each year.

The Inspector General - an official auditor of the Ministry of Defense - has been attaching a disclaimer of responsibility for all military annual reports for several years. Accounting is so unreliable that even "the basic financial statements may have undetected misstatements that are both material and ubiquitous."

In an e-mail statement, the spokesman said the military "remains committed to enforcing audit readiness" by the deadline and is taking steps to resolve the issues.

He also downplayed the importance of inappropriate changes, which he said would cost $ 62,4 trillion. "Although there are a large number of adjustments, we believe that the information on the financial statements is more accurate than anticipated in this report," he said.

"Big stuffing"

Jack Armstrong, a former Civic Inspector, responsible for the audit of the Army General Fund, said the same kind of unauthorized changes to the Army's financial statements had been made since his retirement in 2010.

The Army issues two types of reports - a budget report and a financial report. The budget was completed first. Armstrong said he was convinced that fictitious numbers had been put in the financial statement to match the rest.

"Damn, they do not even know what those balances are supposed to be," Armstrong said.

Some employees of the Defense Finance and Accounting Services Office, which handles a wide range of accounting services for the Defense Department, have spasmodically referred to the preparation of military consolidation statements as the "Great Seal." "Armstrong said." A "seal" is an accounting jargon for entering finished numbers.

At first glance, it seems that adjustments amounting to trillions are impossible to trace. These amounts seem to reduce the entire budget of the Ministry of Defense. Making changes to a single account also requires making changes to multiple levels of sub-accounts. This led to a "domino" effect, in which the counterfeiting essentially blended into the most recent items. In many cases, this series of steps was repeated several times for the same accounting item.

The inspection general's report also blamed DFAS for saying that it itself had caused unauthorized number changes. For example, two DFAS computer systems had different delivery values ​​for missiles and ammunition, the report said - but rather than address the difference, DFAS staff inserted a false "fix" to match the values.

DFAS also failed to make accurate annual financial statements for the army because of its computer system disappeared more than 16 000 financial data sets. Faulty computer programming and the inability of employees to find a problem were at fault, Inspector General said.

DFAS is examining the report "and has no comments at this time," the spokesman said.
