MEMORANDUM FOR DAVID A. GRANT

                                         DIRECTOR OF PROCUREMENT

                                         INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

 

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

                                         Assistant Inspector General for Audit (Headquarters Operations

                                         and Exempt Organizations Programs)

 

SUBJECT:                    Report on Audit of Cost Impact Statement  (Audit # 20061C0202)

 

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) examined the contractor’s August 1, 2005, cost impact proposal reflecting the contractor’s cost accounting practice change.  The Corporate Administrative Contracting Officer has determined that the accounting practice change is a desirable change.

The DCAA opined that the contractor has submitted acceptable data and that the desirable change will result in no increased or decreased costs to the Federal Government on Cost Accounting Standard covered contracts.  According to the DCAA, this change allows General and Administrative expenses to be burdened in a more equitable manner and promotes cost charging consistency across the corporation.

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.
