The Office of Management & Budget's Linda Combs

(continued)

When will we see a governmentwide consolidated financial statement?
I don't have a crystal ball, but in 1990, if we had not put out a goal of having a CFO and eventually having a clean audit in every department, we wouldn't now be able to aim for a governmentwide audit.

Finally, why have you stuck with it for so long?
Some people say I've got a hole in my head. But what keeps me coming back is the value I see for the American people in having committed managers who want to do the right thing. The magnitude of the decisions made in government daily, the complexity of the issues, and all the outside forces that come into play are unsurpassed by anything in the corporate world.
