SUBJECT:     Report on Audit of Revised Forward Pricing Indirect Rates for Fiscal Year 2004 (Audit #20041C0232)

 

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) examined the contractor’s May 20, 2004, revised forward pricing indirect rate proposal for Fiscal Year (FY) 2004.  The purpose of the examination was to determine the reasonableness of the proposed forward pricing rates for the remainder of the contractor’s FY 2004. 

The DCAA considered the contractor’s estimating system adequate to ensure the forward pricing rates are based on accurate, complete, and current cost or pricing data.  The DCAA considered the proposal, as revised, to be acceptable as a basis for negotiating FY 2004 indirect rates for forward pricing purposes for FY 2004 only.  Additionally, the DCAA took no exceptions to the revised overhead and general and administrative rates submitted.

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.
