GovCon: Work Authorization (WAD) Register

A Work Authorization (WAD) register is a log representing a bilateral agreement between the project manager and the manager of the responsible organization (often referred to as the Control Account Manager or CAM) to accomplish and manage the authorized scope of work, schedule, and budget. As a minimum this document must include the relevant WBS Control Account code, statement of work, scheduled start and completion dates, budget, and the name of the CAM.
