Duplicate Recording of Contracts in the Mechanization of Contract Administration Services System

Abstract

The audit objective was to evaluate whether controls in the Mechanization of Contract Administration Services system were adequate to detect or prevent the recording of contract payment information in more than one of the system's data bases. We also evaluated whether the Mechanization of Contract Administration Services system had adequate controls to detect and prevent duplicate contract payments, and whether database errors were corrected in a timely manner. Finally, we evaluated management controls over transfers of contracts between directorates.
