Title: ●Business Systems Compliance (DFARS Case 2012-D042) 
Abstract: DoD is proposing to amend the DFARS to require contractors to provide reports on their accounting systems, estimating systems and material management and accounting systems (MMAS) regarding the contractor's compliance with the applicable DFARS system criteria, as a result of findings in pilot system accounting system audits conducted by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. The objective of the rule is to ensure that contractor's assume appropriate responsibility for compliance with DFARS system criteria by requiring contractors to provide a report regarding compliance with the DFARS criteria based on a self-evaluation and an audit by an independent certified public accountant. The rule will apply to solicitations and contracts that are with large businesses for the purposes of reporting for estimating systems and material management and accounting systems. DoD estimates that this rule will have no impact on small businesses, since contracts and subcontracts with small businesses are exempt from Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) requirements.
