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.
