What other conditions of employment must I meet in order to be employed as a DCAA auditor?

In addition to U.S. citizenship, DCAA auditors must be able to obtain a security clearance and are subject to random drug testing. Some audit positions also require that candidates pass a post-employment polygraph examination.

• Foreign monetary interests
  
• Involvement in activities or organizations that unlawfully practice or advocate the overthrow or alteration of the United States government by unconstitutional means
  
• A history of not meeting financial obligations
  
• Unexplained financial affluence or debt
  
• Fraudulent claims of experience, education or employment history
  
• Other conditions/actions that bring into question a candidate's integrity, honesty, susceptibility to coercion, and/or loyalty to the Government
  

Aside from the security clearance and drug testing requirements, are there any other conditions of employment for DCAA auditors?

Candidates should be aware that a number of positions are "mobile audit" positions and necessitate a significant amount of local travel to and from the various contractor sites. Although not a condition of employment, maintenance of an unrestricted drivers license and/or access to reliable transportation is strongly encouraged for candidate's being considered for such positions.
