Abstract:

The audit objectives were to determine whether DoD VE policies, procedures, and implementation of the revised OMB Circular No. A- 131 were adequate and whether agency-reported VE savings were valid. We also assessed how extensively the VE Program was included in contracts, whether contractors believed they were encouraged to participate in the VE Program, and how VE related to other streamlining or savings initiatives. We also evaluated the adequacy of the management control program applicable to the stated objectives.
