No, but the report is about journal voucher adjustments which isn't spending exactly spending.

The report says not that they're "spending" $21T, but that they made a cumulative amount of errors and corrections in their vouchers equalling $21T and have really poor audit controls.

While bad audit controls is a legitimate and serious problem, it very much is not the same as what people normally think of as "Spending".

But these are adjustments that are larger than the entire (associated) budget. How is even possible? How do poor controls lead to these astronomical errors?
