The Defense Contract Audit Agency was established in 1965 and operates 
under Department of Defense Directive 5105.36.
    The Agency performs all necessary contract audit functions for the 
Department of Defense and provides accounting and financial advisory 
services to all Defense components responsible for procurement and 
contract administration. These services are provided in connection with 
the negotiation, administration, and settlement of contracts and 
subcontracts. They include evaluating the acceptability of costs claimed 
or proposed by contractors and reviewing the efficiency and economy of 
contractor operations. Other Government agencies may request the 
Agency's services under appropriate arrangements.

    The Agency manages its operations through 5 regional offices 
responsible for approximately 108 field audit offices throughout the 
United States and overseas. Each region is responsible for the contract 
auditing function in its assigned area.
