What is the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA)?
Auditing defense contracts is unlike anything you’ll do or see in the financial world. Before an aircraft carrier sails out to sea for the first time or the next generation of F35s takes to the skies, we’ve been on board. Before a new medevac helicopter lifts off, we’ve seen it being made. Whether its weapons, aircraft, ships, tanks, uniforms, satellites – we conduct independent assessments to ensure our military gets the best value for its money. Our auditors provide a unique service to our country and make a difference in the lives of Americans everywhere.
DCAA offers inclusive, impactful and challenging assignments with focus on specialized training, career development while working for an agency ranked in the top 25% of the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government.
