How difficult can it be to develop an incurred cost submission? Well, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) requires a 30-tab EXCEL workbook called the “Incurred Cost Electronically (ICE)” for contractors submitting their annual indirect rates. This presentation is a detailed and comprehensive review of DCAA’s “ICE” template. In addition, DCAA has developed a new technique to improve the speed of accomplishing their incurred cost audits using the low-sampling pool which we will discuss in this session.
