Highlights

The Acting General Counsel for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) requested an advance decision as to whether certain standard costs could be recovered as actual costs. GAO noted that: (1) it could only address the propriety of charges and general issues involved because CIA did not sufficiently detail the nature of the costs involved; (2) CIA could only recover actual costs that are directly attributable to employing detailed personnel and providing goods and services; and (3) CIA needs to apply standard criteria to determine its actual costs and to prevent it from inappropriately augmenting its appropriation.
