Presented By:

Kearney

Description:

With the Department of Defense required to achieve an unmodified audit opinion by FY 2028, it’s more important than ever for you to understand the specific actions needed to meet this mandate. In this session, you’ll hear directly from agency leaders who helped guide their DoD components from disclaimer opinions to unmodified ones. Learn what strategies worked—whether it was setting the right tone at the top, conducting root cause analysis, updating technology, improving processes and controls, leveraging contractor support, or simply putting in the hard work. You’ll walk away with practical insights and proven approaches to help you advance audit remediation efforts within your own organization.
