Description

Until recently, ethics programs and practices of defense contractors were self-policed. Given the significant sums spent to acquire goods and services, the Fed. Acquisition Regulation (FAR) was amended twice starting in Dec. 2007 to first mandate and later amplify contractor ethics program rules. This report: (1) describes the extent that contractors had ethics programs before the finalization of the FAR rules that included practices consistent with standards now required by the FAR; and (2) assesses the impact the new FAR rules have on DoD oversight of contractor ethics programs. To do this work, in Sept. 2008, the auditor surveyed all 57 contractors -- those receiving more than $500 million in 2006 DoD contract awards. Charts and tables.
