Use of Contractor Cost and Schedule System Data

Abstract

Cost and schedule control (C/SC) systems that meet the criteria under DOD Instruction 5000.2, "Defense Acquisition Policies and Procedures," February 23, 1991, provide DoD contractors effective management control mechanisms that integrate cost, schedule, and technical performance. Also, the C/SC systems ensure that DoD managers have accurate, valid, timely, and auditable contract performance information on which to make responsible management decisions. Unless waived by the milestone decision authority, DoD acquisition contracts valued at $60 million or more for research, development, test, and evaluation or $250 million or more for procurement require C/SC systems that meet the criteria specified under DoD Instruction 5000.2. The audit objective was to evaluate the implementation and oversight of C/SC systems and the use of data reported by contractors complying with C/SC system criteria.
