DCAA Requirements (Defense Contractors Audit Agency)

Unanet has features and functions that directly support the requirements stated in the Automated Timekeeping Systems section of the Defense Contractors Audit Agency (DCAA) regulations and Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR)

Note that DCAA requires that the timekeeping process, collectively including policies, manual procedures and tools be compliant; the software alone is not audited for compliance or certified nor approved as DCAA compliant. The product suite has been reviewed by auditors at customer sites and along with the customer policies and procedures approved as supporting the DCAA regulations.

Unanet makes implementation of the DCAA regulations easy and efficient. Here is a small sampling of the DCAA regulations supported by Unanet:

• Employees charge time to authorized, open projects
• Employee access time through a secure password
• Employee records viewable and auditable comments for any timesheet change
• Supervisors approve the entire timesheet
• All time must be reported (total time accounting)
• Administrators monitor delinquent timesheets
