Title:Closeout and Payment Processes for Cost-Reimbursable Contracts
Date:January 23, 2001
Type:Audit
Project ID:FI-2001-018
Summary:We found DOT was not properly administering closeout and payment of cost-reimbursable contracts. We also found that DOT did not close contracts in a timely manner, resulting in funds remaining obligated on completed contracts for as long as 12 years. As a result, DOT had little assurance that contractors actually incurred the $294 million on the 448 contracts that were not subjected to independent audits and internal desk audits. We excluded FAA because it uses a different acquisition system from the rest of DOT and will be audited separately.
