OIG Audit – Reasonable Costs – Support Documentation

OIG Audit

HEADNOTES

OMB Circular A-87 requires that for a cost to be allowable and therefore reimbursable, under a PA award, the cost must be, among other requirements, reasonable and adequately documented. The Applicant provided a complete record of hourly vehicle usage to substantiate that FEMA’s hourly rate for use of police vehicles was reasonable.

CONCLUSION

The Applicant has provided documentation to demonstrate that FEMA’s hourly rate for the use of police vehicles was reasonable in this case. Accordingly, the appeal is granted.
