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."
