So?

Either spending is wasteful or it isn't. People don't work for free and the money is accounted for.

For example the Federal government and public universities negotiate a rate at which F&A (overhead, facilities and administrations) can be at. Then the Federal government, since they're paying for it, ask for receipts. The money is being accounted for.
