It also comes with the responsibility of managing the department\u2019s annual audit, an effort that began under McCord\u2019s successor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/outlook\/2017\/12\/11\/pentagon-comptroller-using-the-audit-to-drive-change\/\" target=\"_blank\">David Norquist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCord, who also spent time as the deputy comptroller, was part of Biden\u2019s transition landing team at the department. Since leaving government, he has held a number of different roles, including as director for civil-military programs at the Stennis Center for Public Service and on the board of trustees for the Aerospace Corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCord and Moultrie are the latest Pentagon nominees to advance as the Senate Armed Services Committee prioritizes confirmations this summer. On Thursday, the Senate confirmed new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2021\/05\/26\/wormuth-first-woman-confirmed-as-army-secretary\/\" target=\"_blank\">Army
