Error Identification

Here is my question:

In order (A) no money would be wasted (B), we had to account for (C) every penny we (D)spent.

I know the answer is “A. In order”. Is it because we need “in order that” to go with the clause “no money would be wasted” Thanks for enlightening me.

I think you're right. "That" is often omitted, but I don't see anything else that should be changed. You could also omit "would" and the second "we," but there's nothing wrong with them.
