How to Record DCAA Sampling Adjustments
Adjusts the indirect cost pools when DCAA uses statistical sampling to identify a projected error rate in allowable expenses.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unallowable Overhead (Audit Adjustment) | Debit | 55,000.00 | - |
| Allowable Overhead Pool | Credit | - | 55,000.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
When an audit finds a specific error rate in a sample, that percentage is applied to the total pool. This entry moves the 'projected' unallowable amount out of the pool.
