DCAA Compliant Timekeekeeping
We've got you covered

Being awarded a government contract can be exciting and lucrative for a business, but keeping the detailed job accounting, costing and timekeeping records required by the government can be a huge hassle — unless you have the right tools. Certain types of government or defense contracts awarded require the company to adhere strictly to Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) regulations and policies, and you never know when an unannounced audit of your records will take place.


Are you ready? How can you know you are ready? It is essential to prove that you have been keeping the necessary DCAA timekeeping guidelines at all times. Fortunately, Hour Timesheet can help ensure that you are always in compliance and ready for any surprise audit. No more worries, no more headaches — Hour Timesheet makes it easy.
