What is DCAA Compliance?

By Ted Rose • November 18, 2024

DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency) compliance refers to the standards and requirements set by the U.S. government to ensure accurate accounting and financial practices for contractors working with the Department of Defense (DoD). These regulations help verify that costs charged to government contracts are allowable, allocable, and reasonable.

For GovCons, adhering to DCAA standards is crucial for securing and maintaining government contracts.
