The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) recently made public its Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Report to Congress (“Report”), which, among other things, reports that DCAA has eliminated its incurred cost audit backlog.
The Report also describes its industry outreach activities and DCAA’s plans to focus more attention on other audits, such as business systems, Truth in Negotiations Act, Cost Accounting standards, pre-award surveys, claims, and terminations. Those plans are discussed more fully in our blog post.

On Friday, April 10, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) has agreed to pay just over $17 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act (FCA) by failing to comply with federal anti-discrimination requirements incorporated into its federal contracts due to allegedly discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) employment practices. This resolution marks the first FCA settlement secured by the DOJ under its Civil Rights Fraud Initiative, created in May 2025, and announced by then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as part of the administration’s coordinated efforts to target allegedly unlawful DEI practices. Per the agreement, the settlement is neither an admission of liability by IBM nor a concession by the United States that its claims are not well founded.
