MEMORANDUM FOR DAVID A. GRANT

                                         DIRECTOR OF PROCUREMENT

FROM:     Daniel R. Devlin /s/ Daniel R. Devlin

                 Assistant Inspector General for Audit (Headquarters Operations and

SUBJECT:     Agreed-Upon Procedures for Subcontract Number S800603, Prime Contract Number TIRNO-99-D-00001 (Audit #200310002.042)

 

In response to your request, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) applied agreed-upon procedures to verify costs incurred by the subcontractor, under   subcontract number S800603 (originally 802798), under prime contract number TIRNO-99-D-00001 from April 1, 1999, through March 31, 2000.  The purpose of the engagement was to determine whether the accounting records adequately support the subcontractor’s claimed costs on Government contracts.  The report pertains only to the performance of agreed-upon procedures.  The DCAA did not perform an examination and, therefore, does not express an opinion.

 

The DCAA disclosed that the subcontractor’s claimed costs are based on fixed labor rates for the time and materials contract multiplied by labor hours expended on the contract plus travel costs.  The DCAA verified the labor rates and hours and found no exceptions.  Additionally, the DCAA verified the subcontractor’s travel costs to the subcontractor’s books and records.

 

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

 

If you have any questions, please contact me at (202) 622-8500 or John R. Wright, Director at (202) 927-7077.
