Must I be a United States citizen to be employed as a DCAA auditor?
Yes. United States citizenship is a requirement for employment as an auditor with DCAA.
Can I hold dual citizenship and be employed as a DCAA auditor?
In a majority of cases, you may hold dual citizenship and be employed as a DCAA auditor. However, it is possible that you will have to surrender your passport and take other actions in order to do so. You should discuss your specific situation with a DCAA human resources representative prior to accepting an offer of employment.
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.
What factors are considered in obtaining a security clearance?
Many factors could affect a candidate’s ability to obtain a security clearance. Factors include, but are not limited to:
- Illegal or improper drug use
- Criminal conduct
- Dual citizenship
- 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.
