The honest answers most firms won't give you
No jargon, no sales pitch. Just the practical details you need before you commit.
How soon can we get a DCAA-compliant system in place?
A basic compliant system can often be set up within a few weeks. The timeline depends on your current accounting structure and the complexity of your contracts. We start with a readiness assessment to map the exact path.
Do we really need a separate system just for government contracts?
Not always a separate system, but you need one that can segregate and track costs by contract. Your off-the-shelf software may work with proper configuration. We audit what you already have before recommending anything new.
What happens if the DCAA finds issues during an audit?
They issue a corrective action plan. The key is not to panic. We help you respond with clear evidence and documented procedures. Most issues can be resolved if your internal controls are in place, even if they were applied inconsistently.
Can a one-person firm handle all this compliance work?
A one-person firm that knows FAR Part 31 and DCAA audit protocol cold can handle it better than a general accounting firm. The question is bandwidth. We manage the full scope, from system setup to incurred cost submissions, so you don't have to hire a compliance team.
How much does it cost to get and stay DCAA compliant?
It varies by contract size and system complexity. We charge flat fees per engagement, not hourly, so you know the cost upfront. The first system setup is the largest investment; maintenance and annual submissions are significantly less.
We already have a CPA. Do we still need compliance consulting?
A good CPA handles your tax and financial statements. A compliance specialist ensures your accounting system meets SF 1408 requirements and your indirect rate structure passes DCAA scrutiny. They are different skill sets. We work alongside your CPA, not against them.
