LATG has an established internal quality control structure that is designed to ensure only the highest level of quality services and deliverables are provided to clients. This internal quality control structure is based on a Quality Management System (QMS) that is based on the standards developed and promulgated by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
The ISO family of standards was developed to assist organizations of all types to implement and operate an effective QMS. This QMS approach encourages organizations to analyze customer requirements, define the processes that contribute to the provision of a product that meets the specified requirements, and keep these processes under control. This internal quality control structure consists of three elements: the control environment, the accounting system, and the control procedures.
The control environment reflects the attitude, awareness, and actions of management and ownership and includes LATG’s management philosophy and operating style, methods of assigning authority and responsibility, establishment of an organizational structure and roles, management control procedures for monitoring performance, and personnel policies and procedures.
The accounting system consists of the methods and records established to identify, analyze, classify, record, and report on the company’s business activity and maintain accountability for the related assets and liabilities. Based on the QMS, work instructions and control procedures have been developed to provide guidance and instructions on recording time utilizing appropriate charge codes, travel manual and expense reporting, monitoring actual costs against budgeted costs, payroll, and adherence to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR).
Control procedures are those additional policies and procedures that LATG management has established to provide a reasonable assurance that objectives are achieved in a timely manner, with the highest possible degree of accuracy, while maintaining confidentiality and data integrity.
Responsibility for monitoring task order procedures, requirements, and performance lies with our IDIQ Program Manager and the Task Order Manager. LATG has also established a reporting structure that requires periodic reviews of each task order and organizational performance. LATG’s leadership, organizational structure and QMS ensure quality performance, in accordance with our long history of delivering quality services to our customer base.
