Abstract

This paper examines the significant problems that result from wasteful spending, which include fiscal irresponsibility, deferred maintenance, and excessive executive compensation. Waste in areas such as health care, defense, higher education, and municipal government are studied. The authors conclude that executives and auditors should be as concerned with wasteful spending as fraud because the former can be as devastating to an organization as the latter.
