What This Rating Means |
PERFORMING
Effective
This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
- DCMA is efficient and effective. DCMA has increased electronic source document processing of key contract actions from 26% in FY 2003 to 88% in FY 2006 as well as increased electronic invoice processing from 66% in FY 2003 to 91% on FY 2006. This effort increases responsiveness, reduces processing time and costs and facilitates the timely closeout of contracts.

- DCMA adheres to strong financial management practices; however, it does not have an unqalified audit opinion.
