DCAA investigative auditors use data analytics to support $600,000 settlement case

By DCAA Staff Writer

Fort Belvoir, Va.  –  

DCAA Operations Investigative Support Division (OIS) investigative auditors provided support in an investigative case against Whitney Blake Company and its subsidiary Live Wire. Both Whitney Blake Company and Live Wire agreed to pay $628,328 for inferior communications equipment that did not meet military specifications. Additionally, testing reports for the equipment were falsified or never completed, falsely appearing as a clean testing report. DCAA OIS investigative auditors used data analytics on affected contracts and communications products to develop damage models. The damage models detailed the applicable nonconforming or inappropriately billed equipment.
