Apparently some Raytheon programs have, get this, TWO SETS of actual costs incurred under cost-type contracts: one set of #'s for the government and another set of #'s internal to Raytheon. These actuals do not remotely match and it's not due to lag-time in applying the accruals. Something to look out for as this is not a limited or one-off activity.
