DCAA is a vital agency within the Department of Defense (DoD). We audit government contracts for supplies, equipment, and services that help our military service members and their missions succeed. Before the next generation of F-35s take flight, we've been on board. Before a medevac helicopter lifts off, we've seen it being made.
Our auditors examine contractor business processes, systems, and financial records to ensure that contract costs are fair and reasonable — ensuring taxpayers and DoD get the best value for every dollar spent.
Explore what we do, the impacts of our work, and why our careers are different and rewarding.
