MEMORANDUM FOR JAMES A. WILLIAMS

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

Deputy Inspector General for Audit

SUBJECT: Incurred Cost Audit Fiscal Year 1998 TIR-94-0090

In response to your request, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) audited the contractor's March 1999 incurred cost submission and related books and records for reimbursement of Fiscal Year 1998 incurred costs. DCAA performed sufficient audit tests to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the proposal is free of material misstatement.

In summary, the DCAA took no exception to the direct costs or the proposed indirect rates of the contractor. DCAA qualified its report because the assist audit of a subcontractor’s costs has not been received. Upon receipt of the assist audit, DCAA will provide a supplemental report if needed.

The information in this report should not be used for purposes other than that intended without prior consultation with the Treasury 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 and Exempt Organizations Programs), at (202) 622-8500.

The Office of Inspector General for Tax Administration has no objection to the release of this report, at the discretion of the contracting officer, to duly authorized representatives of the contractor.

The contractor information contained in this report is proprietary information. The restrictions of 18 USC 1905 must be followed in releasing any information to the public.

This report may not be released without the approval of this office, except to an agency requesting the report for use in negotiating or administering a contract with the contractor.

TIGTA seal has been removed due to its size.
