Why Use Our DCAA Audit Packet Download?

All government contractors have to comply with the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). 

This means that every cost tied to government spending must be documented, reasonable, and justified.

Because of this, audits are frequent, and auditors expect organizations to have the requested information on hand and in the desired formats.

This checklist leaves no stone unturned and helps you to set up a documentation system that keeps everything up-to-date and compliant.

What’s Included in the Audit Packet Download

The downloadable document contains the following helpful sections:

  • A complete documentation checklist with file formats and cadence
  • Recommendations for compiling a monthly audit packet
