If a contractor fails a DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency) floor check audit, it means that the DCAA has identified deficiencies or discrepancies in the contractor’s labor records that may indicate non-compliance with applicable regulations.
The consequences of failing a DCAA floor check audit can be serious and may include:
- Corrective Action Plan: The DCAA may require the contractor to develop a corrective action plan to address the identified deficiencies or discrepancies. This plan must outline the specific actions that the contractor will take to correct the problems, including a timeline for implementation and monitoring.
- Loss of contract awards: A contractor that consistently fails DCAA audits, including floor check audits, may have difficulty winning new government contracts. This is because the government requires contractors to maintain adequate accounting systems and to comply with applicable regulations, and failure to do so may indicate that the contractor is not capable of meeting government contract requirements.
- Financial penalties: The government may impose financial penalties on the contractor for overbilling or other billing discrepancies that are identified during a DCAA audit.
- Contract termination: If the deficiencies or discrepancies identified during a DCAA audit are serious enough, the government may terminate the contractor’s contract. This can have significant financial and reputational consequences for the contractor.
Therefore, it is important for contractors to maintain adequate accounting systems and to ensure that their labor records are accurate and comply with applicable regulations to avoid failing a DCAA floor check audit or any other DCAA audit.
