Abstract: The NASA Contractor Financial Management Reporting System, comprised of NASA Forms (NF) 533M and 533Q, is the basic financial medium for contractor reporting of both estimated and incurred costs. This information provides NASA with essential data for projecting costs and hours to ensure contractor performance is realistically planned and supported by dollar and labor resources. The data provided by these reports is an integral part of the Agency’s accrual accounting and cost-based budgeting systems required under 31 U.S.C. 3512(e). The reports provide the data used to generate accounts payable, shown on the Agency’s audited financial statements, as required by the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 and OMB Circular A-136. The reports provide data necessary to achieve compliance with SFFAS #4, Managerial Cost Accounting Standards and Concepts for the Federal Government.
