17 DCAA Hot Topics
18 Adequate Accounting Systems
19 Elements of an Adequate Accounting System Proper segregation of direct costs from indirect costs Identification and accumulation of direct costs by contract (job order cost accounting system) A logical and consistent method for the allocation of indirect costs to intermediate and final cost objectives.
20 Elements of an Adequate Accounting System (con t) Accumulation of costs under general ledger control A timekeeping system that identifies employees labor by intermediate or final cost objectives A labor distribution system that charges direct and indirect labor to the appropriate cost objectives.
21 Elements of an Adequate Accounting System (con t) Interim (at least monthly) determination of costs charges to a contract through routine posting to book of account Exclusion from costs charged to Government contracts of amounts that are not allowable pursuant to FAR Part 31, Contract Cost Principles and Procedures, or other contract provisions Identification of costs by contract line item and units (as if each unit or line item was a separate contract) if required by the proposed contract. Segregation of preproduction costs from production costs
22 Elements of an Adequate Accounting System (con t) Billings (progress payments, public vouchers) contractor has controls or procedures that would provide that interim billings of direct cost are prepared directly from the books and records, excluding unallowable costs. Adequate, Reliable Data contractor s system capable of producing cost information at a sufficient level of detail for use in pricing follow-on contracts
23 Adequate Timekeeping Systems
24 Labor Charging System Timekeeping procedures and controls on labor charges Management must hold employees responsible for accurately recording time charges
25 Labor Charging System Criteria for effective internal controls over labor charging: 1. Segregation of responsibilities for labor-related activities 2. Documented procedures must be evident, clear-cut, and reasonable 3. Controls must be monitored and violations must be remedied through prompt and effective action. 4. Individual employees must be constantly made aware of controls that act as an effective deterrent against violations
26 Labor Charging System Timecard Preparation detailed instructions for timecard preparations should be established and documented with company policy and procedure manual. Automated systems remote data entry terminals to record labor charging data directly to computer for processing. Manual systems instructions should indicate that employee is responsible for: 1. Recording his/her time on a daily basis 2. Recording time on timecard in ink 3. Correct distribution of time by project numbers, contract number, or name 4. All changes to timecard should be lined through, with employee s initials beside the change indicating the employee personally made that change and that it is correct 5. Recording all hours worked, whether they are paid or not 6. Signing the timecard at the end of each work period.
27 Labor Charging System Recommended timekeeping policy 1. Supervisor should approve and cosign all timecards 2. Supervisor prohibited from completing an employee s timecard 3. Guidance states that nature of work determines the proper distribution of time (not due to availability of funding, type of contract, or other factors). 4. Policy should state that accurate and complete preparation of timecards is a part of the employee s job.
28 Labor Charging System DCAA floor checks auditors periodically perform physical observations of work areas and inquiries of employees to determine if: 1. Employees are actually at work 2. Employees are performing in their assigned job classification 3. Employee time is charged to the appropriate job or indirect account
29 Labor Charging System Penalties for Labor Mischarging manipulation of charges to a contract may be subject to criminal charges. The following can be liable for violation: 1. Employees who fill in and sign timecards with false information 2. Supervisors who approve the timecards with knowledge that they contain the false information 3. Managers and officers know timecards are incorrect and make the claim anyway by submitting the invoice 4. The Company, in a case where the falsification is known by individuals who submit or who have authority to submit or disapprove the submission of invoices, or who are of a sufficiently high enough level in the company that the court will impute their knowledge to the corporation.
