# §30.601. Responsibility.

- (a) The CFAO shall perform CAS administration for all contracts and subcontracts in a business unit, even when the contracting officer retains other administration functions. The CFAO shall make all CAS-related required determinations and findings (see [Subpart 1.7](/cfr/48/subpart1.7.md)) for all CAS-covered contracts and subcontracts, including—
  - (1) Whether a change in cost accounting practice or noncompliance has occurred; and
  - (2) If a change in cost accounting practice or noncompliance has occurred, how any resulting cost impacts are resolved.
- (b) Within 30 days after the award of any new contract subject to CAS, the contracting officer making the award shall request the CFAO to perform administration for CAS matters (see [Subpart 42.2](/cfr/48/subpart42.2.md)). For subcontract awards, the contractor awarding the subcontract must follow the procedures at 52.230-6(l), (m), and (n).
- (c) In performing CAS administration, the CFAO shall request and consider the advice of the auditor as appropriate (see 1.602-2).
