Defense Data Network

Abstract

This is our final report on the Audit of the Defense Data Network. The audit was performed from August 1988 to July 1989. Our overall audit objective was to determine whether the development and implementation of the Defense Data Network (the Network) had proceeded on schedule and in a cost-effective manner consistent with guidance established in 1983 by the then Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USDtR&El). Specific audit objectives were to determine if increases to original program cost estimates were reasonable and justified, if the Network was responsive to the needs of DOD users, and if applicable internal controls were adequate. Another specific audit objective was to determine if methods used to obtain contractor support were in compliance with applicable acquisition regulations and would produce cost-effective results. This audit objective was deferred to a future audit of Network contract support.
