The Commission on Wartime Contracting met with Defense Department and Army officials to examine the role of contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan. This portion of the hearing examined the progress the Defense Contract Management Agency and the Defense Contract Audit Agency have made in devising a plan to improve the government's oversight of contractor business systems and internal controls.

The panel talked about the coordination between Defense Department agencies that manage and audit contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan. This panel is a follow-up to the Commission's hearings in August on contractor business systems.
