Northrop Grumman Corp. was paid at least $206,000 by Navy contracts officials for “questionable” travel billings to a golf outing and international air shows, according to an audit by the Pentagon’s inspector general.
While Northrop Grumman subsequently reduced its billings by that amount after inquiries by the inspector general, “there is a potential for additional unallowable expenses charged” by the contractor, according to the Dec. 23 audit report.
