English term or phrase: Expediency and ambition will trump legal compliance...
The phrase is taken from a text on military issues. I find the vocabulary in this text quite difficult and also the issues they talk about are not easy. I would really appreciate any type of help.

The complete phrase is:

"Expediency and ambition will trump legal compliance without proper checks on use of taxpayer dollars"

My try:

La conveniencia y la ambición superarán el cumplimiento legal sin controles adecuados sobre el uso de dólares.... ¿? (I don't like it at all)


Below if the text that follows this phrase:

Doctrine: Congress must define, and DA must publish, precise guidelines for projects that qualify for the $1.5 million ceiling due to life, health, or safety concerns

Training: Inject situations at JRTC that force logisticians and contracting officers to work together to compose proper PWSs and SOWs
