MEMORANDUM FOR GREG ROTHWELL

ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER (PROCUREMENT)

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

FROM: Pamela J. Gardiner /s/ Pamela J. Gardiner

Deputy Inspector General for Audit

SUBJECT: Final Audit Report –Report on Audit of Public Vouchers Numbered 1 through 18 TIRNO-98-C-00041

In response to your request, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) audited public vouchers numbered 1 through 18 issued under contract number TIRNO-98-C-00041. DCAA reviewed the financial operating procedures to determine if the amounts claimed for reimbursement, as represented by submitted public vouchers, constituted allowable costs under the terms of the contract.

In summary, DCAA believes the ****10**** claimed on the public vouchers is overstated by ****10****. These costs relate to hotel expenses in excess of allowable per diem rates, overtime not authorized by the contract, and overtime inadvertently billed twice. The attached report details the results of DCAA’s review.

The information in this report should not be used for purposes other than that intended without prior consultation with the Office of Inspector General for Tax Administration regarding its applicability.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (202) 622-6510, or your staff may call Maurice S. Moody, Associate Inspector General for Audit (Headquarters Operations & Exempt Organization Program) at (202) 622-8500.
