DCAA Independence Requirements
Independence requirements prevent DCAA auditors from providing consulting and accounting advisory services to contractors. This means DCAA auditors are not able to provide guidance to contractors regarding how accounting systems should be set up, how costs should be treated, or how claims should be compiled. The DCAA auditor's primary role is to express an audit opinion. Contractors that are not familiar with the federal acquisition process should consult private companies that provide advisory services in this field, or view the resources of information available online.

Famous quotes containing the word independence:
“The subject of the novel is reality liberated from soul. The reader in complete independence presented with a structured process: let him evaluate it, not the author. The façade of the novel cannot be other than stone or steel, flashing electrically or dark, but silent.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
