§ 542.7105 - Releasing or withholding of audit reports.

The Freedom of Information Act generally requires the disclosure of Government records subject to certain exceptions. It may be to the benefit or detriment of the Government to release contract audit reports or portions of them depending upon the circumstances. However, because of the complexity of the matter, contracting officers shall consult with both the Assistant Inspector General-Auditing and the Office of General Counsel, before releasing or withholding such information.
