Department Of Defense Progress

In Resolving Contract Audits




The Department of Defense has progressed
in establishing a contract audit resolution
system. The purpose of the system is to
ensure that managers appropriately use
audit recommendations in the negotiation,
administration, and settlement of contracts.

When th3 system was established in 1981,
it had design weaknesses, and managers
did not comply with system requirements.
Revisions ordered in December 1982 and
increased emphasis by top managers ap-
pear to have corrected many weaknesses.
The revised system just became opera-
tional, and it is too early for GAO to deter-
mine the extent of compliance with system
r'quirements. If properly implemented, the
system should satisfy almost all govern-
ment requirements for audit resolution.
However, GAO thinks a few changes should
still be made to improve effectiveness and to
ensure economical operations.
