DCAA Issues Guidance on Access to Contractor Internal Audit Reports
Client Alert | 1 min read | 08.24.12
In response to a December 2011 GAO report that criticized the DCAA for the number of requests for internal company audit reports it made, DCAA issued new audit guidance on August 14. The new guidance requires auditors at major contractor locations to "establish a process and a central point of contact to obtain and monitor DCAA's access to and use of internal audits," which includes "a method for tracking requests for internal audit reports and working papers, when needed, and the contractor's disposition of these requests" and states that auditors will commence "Access to Records" procedures when access to internal audit reports is denied by the contractor.

CMMC Phase II Suspension Requires Reconsideration of Such Requirements in Solicitations
As discussed in more detail here, the U.S. Department of War (DoW) recently issued a memorandum (Memo 26-P-1023, dated July 13, 2026) directing the immediate suspension of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Phase II requirements (Level I and II self assessments are still permitted). Significantly, the memo directs that “all pending and future CMMC implementation milestones across DoW solicitations and contracts are held in abeyance until further notice.” Moreover, the DoW issued a memorandum on implementing these requirements (available here), directing agencies to issue amendments removing CMMC Level 2 and 3 requirements from active solicitations “as soon as practicable.” Contractors should monitor the government’s compliance with this requirement and should be prepared, if needed, to file a bid protest to protect their rights.
