The Examination of Records by Comptroller General clause and the
two audit clauses, Audit--Negotiation and Audit--Formal Advertising,
implement the requirements of 10 U.S.C. 2313, 41 U.S.C. 254, and 10
U.S.C. 2306. The statutory requirements are that the Comptroller
General and/or agency shall have access to, and the right to, examine
certain books, documents and records of the contractor for a period of
3 years after final payment. The record retention periods required of
the contractor in the clauses are for compliance with the

performed.

Recordkeepers, 19,142; hours per recordkeeper, 3.34; total
