What is DCAA compliance?
When the DCAA performs an audit or a pre-award survey of a government contractor, they are assessing the contractor’s compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). The FAR is the principal set of rules in the Federal Acquisition Regulation System. This system consists of sets of regulations issued by agencies of the Federal government to administer what is called the “acquisition process,” the process through which the government purchases (“acquires”) goods and services.
