This is a bit of a broad question, based on your experience.
Many of us have dealt with government agencies, and there's always at the end of the fiscal year a mad rush to spend the money. We've seen so many times that if you deal with a government agency you know the POs are going to be coming out left, right, and centre in the last month. In such cases there doesn't always appear to be really intelligent spending in that last desire to get rid of the budget. Has there ever been an analysis done on what proportion of spending takes place in regular government departments in that last month?
