The Anita Bales Leadership Development Program (ABLDP) is a senior level leadership development program, formerly known as the Directors Development Program in Leadership.
In December 2017, 22 senior-level employees from DCAA, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), and the Army Audit Agency (AA) embarked on an immersive, premier, and critical journey led by the late DCAA director, Ms. Anita Bales. This cohort became the first graduates of the DCAA’s Director’s Development Program in Leadership on Feb. 26, 2019.
From the start of September 2024 to Jan. 15, 2025, DCAA employees donated over $70,000 to the Combined Federal Campaign, exceeding DCAA’s pledge goal.
Mr. Joseph Bucsko was officially inducted into the Senior Executive Services (SES) during a ceremony on Dec. 11, 2024.

Our Agency

DCAA provides audit and financial advisory services to DoD and other federal entities responsible for acquisition and contract administration. DCAA’s role in the financial oversight of government contracts is critical to ensure DoD gets the best value for every dollar spent on defense contracting. DCAA operates under the authority, direction, and control of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)/Chief Financial Officer. Its work benefits our men and women in uniform and the American taxpayer. The Agency’s primary function is to conduct contract audits and related financial advisory services. Contract audits are independent, professional reviews of financial representations made by defense contractors, and DCAA helps determine whether contract costs are allowable, allocable, and reasonable.
