Contracts/ SeaPort-e/Quality Assurance
LATG has an established internal quality control
structure which is designed to ensure that only the highest level of
quality services and deliverables are provided to clients. This internal
quality control structure is based on a Quality Management System (QMS)
which is patterned according to the standards developed and promulgated
by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The ISO
family of standards was developed to assist organizations of all types
to implement and operate an effective QMS. The QMS approach encourages
organizations to analyze customer requirements, define the processes
that contribute to the provision of a product that meets the specified
requirements, and to keep these processes under control. This internal
quality control structure consists of three elements: the control
environment, the accounting system, and the control procedures.
The control environment reflects the attitude, awareness, and actions of
management and ownership and reflects a combination of the following
factors:
-
Management philosophy and operating style
-
Methods of assigning authority and
responsibility
-
Establishment of an organizational
structure and roles
-
Management control procedures for
monitoring performance
-
Personnel policies and procedures
The accounting system consists of the methods and
records established to identify, analyze, classify, record, and report
on the company's business activity and maintain accountability for the
related assets and liabilities. Based on the QMS, work instructions and
control procedures have been developed to provide guidance and
instructions on such activities as:
-
Recording time utilizing appropriate
charge codes
-
Travel Manual and Expense Reporting
-
Monitoring actual costs against budgeted
costs
-
Payroll
-
Adherence to the Federal Acquisition
Regulations (FAR)
Control procedures are those policies and
procedures, in addition to the control environment and accounting system
that management has established to provide reasonable assurance that
objectives are achieved in a timely manner, with the highest possible
degree of accuracy, while maintaining confidentiality and data
integrity.
LATG has extensive experience in establishing control procedures that
ensures high quality services and deliverables and cost savings. In
accordance with the requirements and demands of the QMS, the control
procedures developed by LATG are intended to:
-
Ensure proper authorization of all transactions
-
Establish segregation of duties by job
function to reduce the possibility and probability of errors or
irregularities in the normal course of business
-
Design and use appropriate documents and
records to ensure proper recording of transactions
-
Establish systematic review (both off and
on-site) of subcontractor activities, specifically as they relate to
expenses
-
Corrective and preventive action work
instruction
All managers and staff members are required to
execute confidentiality and conflict of interest statements which are
reviewed by the Compliance Officer. Any issues identified by the
Compliance Officer will be reviewed by executive management team in
order to determine a mitigation strategy. A member of the executive
management team will discuss the nature of potential conflicts and
mitigation strategy with the client's contracting officer.
Although the responsibility for monitoring task order procedures and
requirements is the responsibility of the department or project manger,
LATG has established a reporting structure which requires scheduled
reviews of task order requirements and organizational performance.
Finally, for purposes of this effort, LATG utilizes its cost and
reporting control methods to bring savings to the customer.
