2 Agenda Who Needs to submit an ICP? What Are attributes of an adequate ICP? What Are my chances of being audited? Where Do I file an ICP? When Do I submit an ICP? Why Are adequate submissions important? 2
3 What is AN Incurred Cost Proposal? Statement of direct and indirect costs by contract and cost element The final avenue of reimbursement for both direct and indirect costs Used to review, audit, and approve direct costs and final indirect rates for every year Required for contract closeout Required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation 3
4 Who Needs to Submit an ICP? Requirement triggered by FAR , Allowable Cost and Payment Clause All Cost type or T&M contracts FP contracts with cost reimbursable clins Christian Doctrine (even if clause not included) Required of Subs as well as Primes 4
5 Submission Requirements The contractor shall submit an adequate final indirect cost rate proposal to the Contracting Officer (or cognizant Federal agency official) and auditor within the 6 month period following the expiration of each of its fiscal years. The Contractor shall support its proposal with adequate supporting data. (See DCAA Information for Contractors) Final annual indirect cost rates and appropriate bases shall be established in accordance with ihsubpart 42.7 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) in effect for the period covered by the indirect cost rate proposal. 5
6 Inaccurate or Incomplete Submission How does this happen? Lack of adequate review Inadequate version control System reports are incorrect Contract types are mixed Data entry is sloppy or incomplete Contract date base is not maintained Schedule totals from schedule to schedule DO NOT MATCH Started preparation Late 6
7 Consequences of Inaccurate Submission Increased probability of future audits Administrative, Civil & Criminal Penalties May be an indicator of an inadequate accounting system Incorrect final indirect rates Incorrect / inaccurate billings Reduced revenue and profit and/or reversal of revenue and profit already taken Contract close out delays 7
8 Filing Late or Not Filing At All How does this happen? Not realizing you must file No one clearly assigned the responsibility Simply not getting to it What are the Consequences? Filinginarrearsisdifficult; in is historicalknowledge maybe lost ACO can unilaterally set indirect rates and close contracts (FAR ) Statute t t of limitations it ti extended d Elevates your contractor risk factor Inadequate accounting system? 8
9 Escalation Process Failure to file can go undetected for years Three month letter If overdue 6 months, letters begin to escalate After six months the DCAA will recommend a unilateral rate determination ACO can unilaterally set indirect rates and close contracts 9

11 How Can We Succeed? Start as soon as possible after the close of the fiscal year Utilize the DCAA ICP adequacy checklist, GUIDE FOR DETERMINING ADEQUACY OF CONTRACTOR INCURRED COST PROPOSAL, as a benchmark Competent Preparer Knows where to get the data Won t take data or things at face value Understands the schedules Doesn t just fill in the boxes Competent and thorough review Tie GL to the IC submission 11
12 How Can We Succeed? (Continued) Ensure that all schedules Tic and Tie Final review / sanity check Version Control Save the reports you create! Document what you did and how you did it for future reference / audits/ etc Understand your contract types and how costs are accumulated (CPFF, T&M, FP, etc) Knowledge of how the contract is invoiced by task or as one line item If by task, the cost has to be reported by task y p y 12
