Halliburton told the Journal that the company had quickly told the Pentagon about the impropriety, which it said was 'detected through the company's internal control procedures.'

'The key issue here is self-disclosure and self-reporting,' a Halliburton spokeswoman said.

'Halliburton internal auditors found the irregularity, which is a violation of our company's philosophy, policy and our code of ethics,' she told the Journal. 'We found it quickly, and we immediately reported it to the inspector general. We do not tolerate this kind of behavior by anyone at any level in any Halliburton company.'
