Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA)

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for auditing contracts related to defense and military operations. Its main role is to ensure that the costs incurred by defense contractors are reasonable, allowable, and aligned with government regulations. This helps maintain transparency and accountability in how taxpayer money is spent on defense projects. DCAA also provides accounting and financial advisory services to support the Department of Defense in managing its contracts effectively, ultimately aiming to safeguard public funds while ensuring contractors meet their obligations.
