    Navigant expenses questioned in Los Angeles County hospital work

    Before Navigant Consulting became part of Guidehouse, Los Angeles County auditors rejected more than $206,000 in claimed expenses connected with work at Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital. The objections included unauthorized first-class travel and project goals that had not been completed. The matter concerns the predecessor company rather than an incident reported as involving Guidehouse after its formation.
