So what exactly do these two agencies look for? For DCAA, being compliant means adhering to the three major standards and guidelines: Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), the Generally Accepted Government Accounting Standards (GAGAS). These standards outline how government contractors need to set up their system and contracts for accounting and cost reporting (pre- and post-award). Altogether, the regulations set by DCAA are intended to ensure that government contractors are financially stable enough to deliver appropriate services and complete contracts.
