DCAA Introductory Series: Intro to DCAA and Audit Process Overview; Breaking Into GovCon from a DCAA Perspective

The National APEX Accelerator Alliance (NAPEX) and your local APEX Accelerator Program is excited to announce the upcoming DCAA Introductory Series. The Introductory Series includes Intro to DCAA and Audit Process Overview and Breaking Into GovCon from a DCAA Perspective. Join us as experts from the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) discuss roles and responsibilities of their agency, and discuss the various types of audits performed throughout the acquisition lifecycle.

This presentation will provide an overview of DCAA’s audit process and some common items related to the audit process. Participants will learn the importance of adequate assertions, scheduling entrance and exit conferences, communicating throughout the audit, auditor site visits and requests for information. The DCAA will then break down the impact of the 2019 GAO “Contract Financing” report and the subsequent Office of the Under Secretary of the Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Defense Pricing and Contracting finance study. DCAA will provide information about the types of contract awards and the requirements for each, as well as the common misconceptions of FAR, CAS, and TINA.
