DCAA’s Latest Request for Information Form

DCAA sent the following list out recently in preparation for a 2008 incurred cost submission audit.  It is one of the most comprehensive I have seen in years.

A couple of sections are not clear to me (“listing of voluntary deletions” seems, at best, a little broad)  (“Information on applicable FY under audit for the Internal Audits/Management Reviews”). Overall it seems fairly comprehensive and underscores the continued involvement of the contractor’s policies and procedures during an incurred cost audit (15 and especially 24). I also note they refer to the executive compensation worksheet by the old name Schedule T which they dropped over two years ago and that two of the items are specific references to Deltek (7 and 8).

Finally, notice the ten days, not business days, for a response.
