LynnI normally don't follow up on these types of tracks, but I think what I was trying to say (and presumably what the other gentlemen was also trying to say) is your ***typical*** outsourcing arrangements.
I am an ex-Marine (Vietnam era) and my son served both as an infantryman and contractor in Iraq (Ramadi, 2007-2008). I am not going say that every type of outsourcing is an audit risk. Military campaigns by nature invoke risk. After all, you are trading lives for real estate. You cannot compare IT in an active military theater with IT in New York or London. So, yes, what you are doing falls outside the scope of what type of outsourcing arrangments I am referring to.
I haven't taken exception to any you have said, Jim. I have taken exception with the comments made by Eric regarding contractors and comparing them to Edward Snowden. I feel he has lumped us all in the same bucket with a few bad apples.
