MEMORANDUM FOR DAVID A. GRANT

                                     DIRECTOR OF PROCUREMENT

                                     INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

 

FROM:     Pamela J. Gardiner /s/ Pamela J. Gardiner

                 Deputy Inspector General for Audit

 

SUBJECT:     Audit of Final Vouchers TIRNO-95-D-00060, Task Order Numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9  (Audit #200210002.010)

 

In response to your request, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) audited the contractor’s Final Vouchers for Task Order Numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 issued under Contract Number TIRNO-95-D-00060.  The purpose of the audit was to verify the contractor’s assertion that the amounts claimed represent the allowable costs and fee for the contract.  This Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract provided for support and technical service.

 

In summary, the DCAA considered the contractor’s accounting and billing systems generally adequate to ensure final vouchers are based on allowable cost and fee data.  The DCAA did not test the direct costs under this contract during the annual incurred cost audit of the contractor.  Therefore, the DCAA qualified its opinion to the extent that costs may be questioned had an audit been completed on these direct costs. 

 

The information in this report should not be used for purposes other than that intended without prior consultation with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration regarding its applicability.

 

If you have any questions, please contact me at (202) 622-6510 or Daniel R. Devlin, Assistant Inspector General for Audit (Headquarters Operations and Exempt Organizations Programs), at (202) 622-8500.
