Contract Audit Follow-up (CAFU) 3.5 Overview
DoD agencies are responsible for compliance with DoD Instruction 7640.02 which requires that all audit reports be tracked. Further, DoD agencies are responsible for reporting to the DoD IG the status of those contracts (semi-annually) which are deemed reportable. The reportable audits are closely monitored to ensure that the status has the most current information and the audit reports are progressing through all the milestones stated in DoD Instruction 7640.02. DoD Instruction 7640.02 was modified and now requires users to capture detailed information on interest and penalties. CAFU supports the following agencies:
  • Air Force
  • Army
  • DCMA
  • Navy
  • TriCare
Features

For all audit reports issued by Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), this application:
  • Allows users to enter all key information for tracking reportable and non-reportable audit records in a single web-based database with the Single Sign On (SSO) feature.
  • Collects information and creates many useful reports for management of CAFU and reporting to the DoD IG for each semi-annual reporting period.
  • Provides alert notifications to the users on those audit records needing attention for completing the required tasks of Resolution and Disposition as well as new assignments.

Enhancements

The enhancements from the last version of CAFU are focused on these six areas:

New data fields are:

  • Qualification or Unresolved Cost (received from DCAA)
  • Questioned Cost Subject to Penalty (received from DCAA)
  • Penalty Assessed  (Yes/No radio buttons)
  • Penalty Amount (entered by CO, whole dollars)
  • Interest Amount (entered by CO, whole dollars)
  • Penalty Date Assessed (entered by CO, format dd/mm/yyyy)
  • Penalty Waiver Date (entered by CO, format dd/mm/yyyy)

These new data fields will capture:

  • Whether or not a penalty was recommended by DCAA
  • Whether or not a penalty was assessed by the CO
  • Penalty Amount
  • Interest Amount
  • Date penalty was assessed
  • Penalty Waiver date (field will only populate if NO was selected on penalty assessed by CO)

Business Rule Change:

  • Allow system assigned Target Resolution date and Target Disposition date to remain until the CO or Monitor changes them

  • Add four types of email notifications
