Defense Department auditors, responding to allegations of widespread abuse by defense-industry consultants, have begun a review of payments to consultants by almost 60 divisions or subsidiaries of the nation’s top 12 defense firms. The special audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency was ordered by Defense Secretary Frank C. Carlucci. The firms were selected because of their multibillion-dollar contracting business with the Pentagon, officials said.
