NDAA Report Language Targets DCAA Backlog, Poor Performance

Washington, D.C. based Government Contracts associate, Skye Mathieson, speaks to BNA about the House Armed Services Committee's report on the fiscal year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which focuses on eliminating the audit backlog at the Defense Contract Agency (DCAA). The report is "certainly a step in the right direction," Mathieson said, adding that the backlog is high because "Auditors began insisting that contractors provide 'support' to a degree of breadth and granularity that auditors in the commercial world would never demand."
