World Wide Technology, LLC - Contract No. 10786

As part of our annual audit plan, we audited costs billed to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) by World Wide Technology, LLC (WWT) under Contract No. 10786 for Cisco hardware, maintenance, services, and support. The contract provided for TVA to compensate WWT for products and services on either a time and materials or fixed price basis. Our audit objective was to determine if costs were billed in compliance with the contract's terms. Our audit scope included about $72.5 million in costs billed to TVA for the period of December 1, 2015, through December 31, 2020. In summary, we determined WWT: Overbilled TVA $38,302 in labor service costs, including (1) $31,341 for unsupported labor hours, and (2) $6,961 in excessive hourly pay rates. Could not provide adequate support for the Cisco list prices used to apply contractual discounts for products and maintenance. Therefore, we could not determine if the majority of costs billed for products and maintenance agreements were in accordance with the contract terms. Overbilled TVA $4,051 because the contractual discounts were not applied correctly on the limited product costs we were able to review. (Summary Only)
