Dear US taxpayers, 4.5 BEEELLION of your dollars were blown on unapproved IT projects

"in many cases the dosh was blown on updates or modifications to existing contracts – and staff did not think they needed approval for the changes"

You can't just spend that extra million dollars on the modifications to meet the changed specs - you need to get approval first! It will only delay the project by about six months and add 10 million to the cost.
