Stacey Proctor, DCAA’s 2023 Audit Manager of the Year

By DCAA Staff Writer

Ms. Stacey Proctor is the Field Audit Office (FAO) Manager at the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Corporate Audit Directorate (LMBAE CAD) in Fort Worth, Tx. and received special recognition as the 2023 Audit Manager of the Year. Her exceptional innovation and dedication improved audit quality and collaboration throughout 2023.

Ms. Proctor’s innovative and dedicated characteristics proved essential when she helped secure an audit request for a $20 billion sustainment program that initially did not intend to seek DCAA services. Her efforts led to the program proposals being briefed to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment, resulting in the DCAA Director attending a Pentagon meeting to secure contract results. She also oversaw improvements in property accountability for a major weapons system, aligning with the Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness Methodology. Demonstrating the agency’s value, she identified $2.9 billion in questioned costs, ensuring a fair and accurate contract. With Ms. Proctor’s leadership, the forward pricing workload doubled the number of issued audit reports and dollars examined in 2023 compared to 2022.

Ms. Proctor exemplifies effective leadership and remains mindful to forming meaningful connections. Whether it’s a new person, agency, or group, Ms. Proctor provides genuine assistance to ensure they are best served. She initiated a dedicated and proactive approach to increase the FAO’s pricing workload by monitoring the contractor’s upcoming proposal pipeline reports and connecting with customers to discuss upcoming proposals. She also played a key role in meetings with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, addressing highly complex proposals and initiating a proactive approach to engaging with customers and contractors.

Ms. Proctor’s achievements reflect her commitment to excellence, making her a deserving recipient of the 2023 Audit Manager of the Year.
