Internal Controls: C-17 Payment Procedures Can Be Improved

Abstract

We are currently reviewing the business processes associated with the Air Forces C17 aircraft production program focusing on acquisition, asset management, andaccounting.1 Our underlying objective was to conduct a case study to examine the business processes used to make investment expenditures during the production phase of a major weapons system. We selected the C-17 program because (1) it is currently a mature, stable program, (2) we have prior experience in reviewing the program, and (3) its current contract is performance-based rather than cost-based. We will be issuing a separate report on the end-to-end procurement business process, which includes acquisition, asset management, and accounting.
