FAR Part 15, Table 15-2 II C provides that the contractor must indicate how they computed and applied indirect rates while also showing trends and budgetary data with appropriate explanations to support the reasonableness of the proposed rates. The extent of detail will vary depending on the specific data supporting each Fiscal Year and based on the size and complexity of the contractor. Auditors will perform substantive procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the basis of estimate (e.g., budgetary data and historical costs/trends). When the basis of estimate is historical data, auditors will perform substantive procedures to ensure the historical data is in reasonable compliance with FAR Part

FAO should ensure that it has a documented sampling plan and procedures for reviewing a sufficient number of public vouchers as part of its review plan. 18
10 Guidance on Performing Internal Control Follow-Up Audits 10-PAS-005(R), dated February 18, 2010 Follow-up audits of contractor correction of previously-reported deficiencies will be performed When notified by the contractor or ACO that appropriate corrective actions have been implemented and Sufficient transactions are available to test testing should include transactions over several cycles As the audit scope is limited the report opinion will only address whether deficiencies have been corrected not the adequacy of the system 19 DCAA/DCMA Coordination DCAA & DCMA Directors issued a jointly signed memorandum to all DCAA/DCMA employees Expressing a shared commitment to ensure fair and reasonable contract values for the warfighter, taxpayer, and Department of Defense Emphasizing that success is based on working together while respecting the independence and professional expertise found in the workforce of each Agency Expecting auditors and contracting officers to establish appropriate working relationships and lines of communication for resolution of issues 20
