Conserving DCAA compliant timekeeping requirements is critical when working with any government agency including DOD, NASA, DHS, and 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019 work hours accurately and consistently. The inability to maintain those expectations will negatively impact your company\u2019s chance of acquiring future government contracts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"get-started-cta\"><h3 class=\"get-started-cta--header\">Are you ready to receive comprehensive government contract consulting for your company?<\/h3><p class=\"get-started-cta--copy\">Reach out today.<\/p><div class=\"get-started-cta--cta\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"\/schedule-consultation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span>Schedule Consultation<\/span> <span><i class=\"fas fa-long-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>How to Achieve DCAA Compliant Timekeeping<\/h2>\n<p>It is crucial to set up proper and accurate timekeeping procedures to achieve DCAA timekeeping compliance.
