SUBJECT:     Labor Floor Checks for Fiscal Year 2003 (Audit #200310002.045)

 

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) performed physical observations (floor checks) as part of their comprehensive audit of the contractor.  The purpose of the floor checks was to determine whether employees are actually at work, they are performing in their assigned job classifications, and their time is charged to the appropriate jobs.  The floor checks also included determining whether the contractor consistently complies with established timekeeping system policies and procedures for recording labor charges.

 

The DCAA indicated that the floor checks disclosed no significant deficiencies in the contractor’s timekeeping procedures or labor system.  This report pertains only to evaluating the contractor’s timekeeping procedures and the performance of floor checks at the contractor locations reviewed.  The DCAA expresses no opinion on the adequacy of the contractor’s labor accounting system taken as a whole.

 

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 you may call

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