GAO reviewed final overhead cost settlements with defense contractors to determine the extent to which questionable costs were allowed. GAO found numerous instances where administrative contracting officers (ACO) allowed costs that the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) questioned. Overall, 53 percent of the costs questioned by DCAA were allowed as overhead by ACO. GAO believes that: (1) the discrepancies are caused by varying interpretations of certain ambiguous provisions in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); and (2) contractors continue to claim reimbursement for unallowable costs, such as advertising and promotional expenses, because ACO often agree to compromise cost settlements that do not address specific cost items. Certain changes have been proposed to FAR that specify the circumstances under which advertising and public relations costs are allowable.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.
