What's odd is that at the lower levels people will absolutely freak out if a computer monitor (~$300?) can't be located. I guess it's not small items like that that add up to the billions missing, it's large/expensive things that are missing.

When I was at about 20, the comptroller at my employer told me that you can make mistakes on big important things and people may not notice, but errors in petty cash will always be noticed.
