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:
“It is my duty to prevent, through the independence of Cuba, the U.S.A. from spreading over the West Indies and falling with added weight upon other lands of Our America. All I have done up to now and shall do hereafter is to that end.... I know the Monster, because I have lived in its lair—and my weapon is only the slingshot of David.”
—José Martí (1853–1895)
