DCAA Compliant Timekeeping

a government contractor ensuring her organization is DCAA compliantThe most miscalculated regulation cited in a DCAA audit is related to timekeeping and timekeeping procedures. Conserving DCAA compliant timekeeping requirements is critical when working with DOD, NASA, DHS, as well as DOE contractors. Inadequate timekeeping procedures could lead to employees being improperly compensated or uncompensated. To be able to preserve DCAA timekeeping requirements, heavy attention to detail and adherence to mandated timekeeping procedures by employees is essential.

DCAA operates under the DOD, whose purpose is to provide audit and financial advisory services to businesses and contractors that are attempting to procure government contracts. To be DCAA compliant, you must have the ability to track the time of each employees’ work hours accurately and consistently. The inability to maintain those expectations will negatively impact your company’s chance of acquiring future government contracts.

How to Achieve DCAA Compliant Timekeeping

It is crucial to set up proper and accurate timekeeping procedures to achieve DCAA timekeeping compliance. These procedures must be performed consistently and regularly supervised. The basic requirements include:

  • A timekeeping system that identifies labor by intermediate and final cost objectives.
  • A labor distribution system that charges direct and indirect labor.
  • All employee time must be accounted for daily by the work activity being performed.
