1 Sandia National Laboratories is a multi-program laboratory managed and operated by Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation, for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000. Contractor Internal Audit Directors (CIAD) Conference Nancy Davis, Director Audit, Ethics, and Business Conduct July 16, 2015

2 Risk Assessment Process Slide 2  Our primary risk analysis tool is the Accounting System Review (ASR)  Helps determine the nature, timing and extent of audits  The purpose is to obtain information about a contractor’s accounting system, policies, procedures, internal controls, and financial position.  Borrows heavily from the COSO model  Over 100 questions  Risk assessment is scored on:  Internal controls  Each cost category (labor, ODC’s, Travel, Materials, etc.)  Financial capability (Z Score)  Risk is assessed at the contractor level, not at the contract level

3 Process for Conducting Audits 3  Utilize TeamMate  Annual planning:  Relies heavily on the ASR (risk assessment scores)  Takes into account prior audit findings, number of employees, size of the contracts assigned to the contractor and the Z score.  We assign audits based on risk. High risk contractors are assigned first  We audit contractors on a three year cycle  We audit ~$300M of subcontractor costs a year  15 auditors, each auditor is assigned between 12-20 audits a year, roughly 1,400 hours of audits (# of audits assigned depends on dollar value of contracts, complexity of audit and the number of PO’s to be audited)

4 Incorporating A-133 Audits 4  We are modifying our procedure steps to include a review of the universities A-133 and Financial Statement reports.  The purpose of the review will be to determine if there is increased risk associated with level of effort labor.  We will also review the other cost categories to include in the audit, but the primary purpose will be to determine if we can rely on the A-133 and F/S for purposes of testing level of effort reports.  Due to the fact that there is still risk associated with hourly employees, travel, subcontractors, materials and other ODCs, we will not rely on the reports for these cost categories.

5 Risk Assessment Process Slide 5 ASR Risk Rank Score Supplier Performance Evaluation ASR Probability of Bankruptcy # EmployeesPrior Audit Adjustment High risk with a “High” score High risks with a Blank, Poor or Unacceptable rating High risk with a “High” score High risk if less than or equal to 10 employees High risk if more than $10k in findings Low risk if greater than 100 employees Low risk if less than $2k in findings
