NASA Contract Management: Improving the Use of DCAA's Auditing Services
Abstract
we reviewed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) management and use of audit support provided by the Department of Defense's (DOD) Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). NASA relies extensively on DCAA to provide audit and financial advisory services on the billions of dollars of contracts NASA awards. This report assesses NASA'S (1) need for an enforcement mechanism to deter contractors from claiming unallowable costs, (2) use of DCAA proposal audit services, (3) involvement in audit planning, (4) oversight of contract audit and administration services, and (5) backlog of contracts awaiting cIoseout.
