There have been a few instances of such things but, they never tell you what happened to cause the craziness.

Such as was the contractor tasked to find a better way of doing this or that? Then, after analysis the old tried and true equipment or method of doing things was the best way causing the research cost being rolled into the cost of the item.

I think that's part of it, but look at the Pentagon. They can't even pass an audit. So it's not so much a matter of money being spent poorly as much as just a lack of understanding of how the money was actually spent.

There is a reason they don’t leave a trail for the auditors to find.
