It’s Back – DCAA’s Non-Defense Audit Authority Revived
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 11.03.16
A recent DCAA policy memorandum lifted the moratorium on DCAA performing non-Defense audits, which (as discussed here) effectively applied only to incurred cost audits. Specifically, because DCAA has purportedly "met the requirement of less than 18 months of incurred cost inventory" outlined in the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act as of October 1, 2016, DCAA "may again provide full audit support for non-Defense agencies" and the Operations Directorate "has coordinated at the Executive level with [its] reimbursable customers to inform them that [its] audit services can resume."

On July 17, 2026, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that it had entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with The Scoular Company (Scoular), an agricultural supply chain company based in Omaha, Nebraska, to resolve allegations that Scoular relied on customs brokers to bribe Mexican government officials to allow Scoular goods to pass customs inspections and be delivered to Mexico from the United States. As part of its resolution, Scoular agreed to pay a $9,769,521 criminal penalty and forfeit an additional $414,351. Scoular also committed to continue cooperating with DOJ on any ongoing or future criminal investigations, implement a compliance and ethics program designed to prevent and detect violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and periodically report to DOJ on remediation and implementation of compliance measures throughout the term of the DPA.
