Does the DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency) endorse or approve any specific accounting software packages?
No. What’s happened, though, is that over the years DCAA auditors have become familiar with a very small number of accounting applications that they have continued to see at the government contractor locations that they’ve audited. Since only a handful of accounting and financial software developers have focused on the needs of government contractors, some contractors might have presumed that these packages have a special DCAA-approved designation attached to them, which they don’t. There is no such designation as “DCAA-approved” or “DCAA-certified” software.
