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

SUBJECT:                    Preaward Survey of Prospective Contractor’s Accounting System (Audit # 20051C0228)

 

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) examined the contractor’s accounting system to determine whether the design of the system is acceptable for the award of a prospective contract in accordance with the criteria set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 53.[1]  The DCAA examination was performed from May 5, 2005, through May 9, 2005.

The DCAA stated the contractor’s design of the accounting system in all material respects is considered acceptable for award of a prospective contract in accordance with the criteria contained in FAR 53.  The DCAA also stated the accounting system is in operation.  The DCAA did not perform a comprehensive examination of the contractor’s overall accounting system and its related internal controls.  Accordingly, the DCAA expresses no opinion on the contractor’s system of internal control 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 John R. Wright, Director, at (202) 927-7077.
