What is the DCAA?

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for auditing Department of Defense (DoD) contracts to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently and according to regulations. The DCAA reviews financial records, cost proposals, and business systems of companies that do business with the DoD to check for fairness, accuracy, and compliance. Their audits help prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in defense contracting. By providing these services, the DCAA supports government decision-making and contract negotiations.

What skills and qualifications are needed to work as a DCAA auditor?

To thrive as a DCAA Auditor, you need a solid background in accounting or finance, typically supported by a bachelor’s degree and sometimes a CPA or related certification. Familiarity with government auditing standards, cost accounting standards (CAS), and proficiency in audit management software are important technical requirements. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help auditors interpret complex data and collaborate with contractors. These skills ensure compliance, safeguard public funds, and maintain accountability in government contracting.

What challenges do professionals face in DCAA audit roles, and how can new hires prepare?

Professionals in DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency) audit roles often encounter challenges such as interpreting complex government regulations, managing strict deadlines, and communicating findings to both contractors and government stakeholders. New hires can prepare by developing strong analytical skills, familiarizing themselves with FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation), and honing their ability to clearly document and explain audit conclusions. Collaboration skills are also essential, as auditors frequently work in teams and interact with various departments to ensure contract compliance.

We are seeking a highly skilled technical Cost and Receipt Accounting Systems Analyst with deep Oracle Cloud Fusion supply chain cost accounting experience to join the team. If you are passionate about the many cross-functional integrated processes that are necessary for defense tech to operate at scale and deliver the advantage to our war fighters, then this may be the opportunity for you. In this role, you will be the primary technical architect and administrator for the financial "engine" of our supply chain. You will ensure that every physical movement in our factories translates into accurate financial data. You will own the configuration, troubleshooting, and optimization of Oracle's Cost Management and Receipt Accounting modules, ensuring our digital ledgers reflect real-time operational and financial reality.

  • Data Integrity & Troubleshooting: Investigate and resolve stuck transactions, costing errors, and interface failures between CorpOS (ERP) and ArsenalOS (Manufacturing/Execution systems/WMS).
  • Cost Accounting Optimization: Define and maintain cost elements, overhead allocation rules, and cost components to ensure accurate "Cost of Goods Sold" (COGS) reporting and inventory valuation.
  • Compliance & Audit Support: Configure systems to meet DCAA and GAAP requirements, ensuring that cost-plus and fixed-price contract accounting is handled with 100% auditability.
  • Release Management: Evaluate quarterly Oracle Fusion updates specifically for impact on costing flows, performing regression testing on automated accounting entries before they hit production.
  • Process Engineering: Partner with Supply Chain and Manufacturing to ensure that physical receiving workflows trigger the correct technical accounting events in the ERP.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • 5+ years of experience in designing, developing, and implementing Oracle Cloud Fusion solutions at manufacturing companies (Aerospace & Defense industry preferred). DCAA & CPFF contracting experience a plus.
  • Manufacturing Financials: Deep understanding of Transactional Accounting, including Receipt Accruals, Landed Cost Management (LCM), and Work-in-Process (WIP) costing. Strong understanding the interplay of sales, supply chain, manufacturing and finance processes between CRM, MES, WMS and ERP, with hands on experience leading development of capabilities in Oracle or SAP
  • Technical Proficiency: Ability to write SQL queries to extract data for reconciliation and experience using OTBI (Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence) for financial reporting.
  • A&D Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with government contracting accounting (CAS, FAR, DCAA) and how these requirements translate into ERP system settings.
  • Systems Thinker: Ability to map a complex physical supply chain into a digital accounting structure without losing data granularity.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent business and technical communication skills, both written and oral, and the ability to convey messages in a persuasive manner and at the appropriate level of detail.
  • U.S. Citizen or Greencard Holder status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data.
