# Army Accelerates FY2028 Audit Readiness

The U.S. Army appointed Shawn Lennon to lead its Army Audit Acceleration (A3) effort, supporting the Department of War’s goal of obtaining a clean, consolidated opinion on its FY2028 financial statements. The effort prioritizes payroll, munitions and inventory, property and equipment, and IT controls. For procurement professionals, this identifies areas where audit support, remediation, and control-testing capabilities may be relevant, but the signal announces no solicitation, contract value, or procurement contact.

- Contractors providing financial audit support, remediation, or control testing can assess how their capabilities align with the Army’s stated priority areas.
- The FY2028 objective provides a planning horizon for potential audit-readiness needs; no specific acquisition, award, or purchasing timeline is identified.
