Unreported government spending

Government agencies routinely underreport levels of spending in areas which their governments do not wish to publicly support.

The American Army reported its use of private contractors in 1983, including management reviews, technical assistance, special studies and management and support services, at US$23,000, while the Pentagon's Inspector General said the army spent US$2,700,000 on them.
