Auditor Testing of Paid Vouchers | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

Back in 2012, the authority for determining a contractor’s eligibility for direct billing – submitting vouchers without having them first approved by a contract auditor – was taken away from DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency) and correspondingly, all defense contractors were automatically eligible to bill their costs without DCAA pre-approval. This greatly streamlined the billing process, allowed contractors to be paid more quickly, thus ensuring improved cash flows.
