SUBJECT:    TIRNO-95-D-00062 Incurred Costs Audit for Fiscal Year 2000  (Audit #200310002.001)

 

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) has examined the contractor’s Information Technology June 29, 2001, certified final indirect cost rate proposal and related books and records for reimbursement of Fiscal Year 2000 incurred costs.  The purpose of the examination was to determine the allowability of direct and indirect costs and to establish audit determined indirect cost rates for January 1, 2000, through December 28, 2000.  The proposed rates apply primarily to flexibly-priced contracts.

 

The DCAA considers the contractor’s Information Technology Segment’s accounting system to be adequate for the accumulation, reporting, and billing of costs on government contracts.  The claimed direct costs are acceptable and are provisionally approved pending final acceptance.  The DCAA questioned some of the proposed indirect rates, but these rates, as adjusted, are acceptable.  Additionally, the DCAA qualified its audit report because results of the assist audits for the subcontract costs had not been received.

 

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) 622-8500 or John R. Wright, Director at (202) 927-7077.
