Highlights
GAO commented on two Federal Acquisition Regulation cases proposing changes to two cost accounting standards. GAO concluded that: (1) it did not object to the proposed change that would delete the reference to the state discount rate when computing the value of self-insured losses, thus requiring the use of the Treasury rate in all cases; and (2) it would not object to the proposed change to increase the minimum acquisition cost criterion for determining whether the cost of a tangible asset must be capitalized, since it accounts for inflation.
