Thank you.
Ms. Hogan, we've been hearing about contracts, especially the initial contract to Accenture that EDC carried out. It seems, from what you said, that EDC gave too much control to the vendor over key aspects of the contracts, such as scope of work and pricing, and failed to exercise basic controls in contract management.
I used to be a consultant and get government contracts. I don't remember ever writing my own contracts. I was always given a contract to sign. I'm wondering how often it happens, from your experience in looking at government work, that basically they say, “Here's a problem. Can you write a contract for yourself and we'll sign it?”
