DCAA ACCOUNTING COMPLIANCE SERVICES

An important milestone as a government contractor is achieving DCAA compliance and if necessary passing the DCAA Accounting System Audit.
As a former top shelf DCAA auditor with 30 years’ experience at DCAA compliance, I have helped hundreds of contractors become DCAA compliant. Clients have taken advantage of this expertise to assure its compliance is maintained eliminating problems with DCAA.

Once you have established a compliant accounting system (See Accounting System Requirements), the next step is to determine how the company will maintain its compliance in accounting for costs on a monthly basis. It is critical that contractors complete their accounting in a manner that is compliant with government contract accounting requirements (FAR 31.2), DCAA requirements and preferences. These options are described below.

DO IT YOURSELF OPTION With TRAINING AND REVIEW

Under this option, my clients perform the accounting themselves or hire a bookkeeper. I provide Government contract accounting and DCAA training to their accountant, bookkeeper. I train them on all the facets of DCAA and government contract accounting. Following my guidance and training will promote a compliant accounting process and ultimately passing DCAA audits as well as maximizing cost recovery.

That said, hiring a third party has advantages if the company is expanding. Unlike when the company is in its initial stages, logistics and accounting can get complicated with company growth.
