> The DoD OIG found that overpayment occurred because the Air Force did not:
> Validate the accuracy of data used for contract negotiation.
> Conduct contract surveillance to identify price increases during contract execution.
> Review invoices to determine fair and reasonable prices before payment.
> In addition, the DoD OIG found that the DoD did not require the contracting officer to verify the accuracy of the bill of materials before negotiation or to review invoices for allowable, allocable, and reasonable costs before payment.
