DODIG-2025-137 - Recommendation D-2025-0137-D000FI-0001-0001.A1a

Rec. A.1.a: The DoD OIG recommended that the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)/Chief Financial Officer, DoD, update the January 8, 2025 memorandum, "Update to the General Business Rules for Use of Drawdown Authority and Replacement of Items and Reimbursement for Services Provided Under Presidential Drawdown Authority," to state that cost estimates for replacement of defense articles provided for Presidential Drawdown Authority must be supported by source data, estimating methodology, technical baseline descriptions, and evidence of management review. Such documentation should be detailed enough so that a cost analyst and auditor unfamiliar with the program could understand what was done and replicate it.
