Policies and Procedures: A Road Map to Continued Compliance for Government Contractors
For government contractors, written policies and procedures are a vital component of both contract compliance and sound business management. Policies set controlling principles and direction for your company. Procedures create road maps for managing your business and reaching your goals.
DCAA and DCMA – the two agencies that audit government contracts most frequently – consider effective policies and procedures as a first line of defense against fraud and waste. Auditors will require evidence that you have established administrative and accounting policies and procedures and that everyone in your organization follows them consistently.
