Monitor your subcontractor's Incurred Cost Submissions

Thank you for following our Blog. Please don't hesitate to offer comments on our blog.

ReliAscent has noticed another policy change from the DCAA recently that could impact the bottom line of a small business. One of our clients received a notice from the DCAA that indicated there will be more emphasis on subcontracts. Specifically this emphasis will be on reviewing policies and procedures related to subcontracting. Two areas of concern were outlined on monitoring subcontractors and on requiring subcontractors over $700K to submit Incurred Cost Submissions either to the prime or to your ACO in accordance with FAR 52.216-7. This has significant impact for many small businesses. incurred cost, incurred cost reports, ReliAscent can help any company with preparation of an Incurred Cost Submission as well as your subcontractors (just a reminder that an Incurred Cost Submission is due within 6 months from the end of a company’s fiscal year per FAR 52.216-15).

So there are basically 2 action items required:

1. You may need to review your Policies and Procedures to make sure you have the proper documents in place for your subcontracts and control of your subcontractors. ReliAscent can help you by performing a review and providing a “gap” analysis.
