DCAA Audit Prep Checklist

Produces a DCAA audit prep companion in one pass: a 16-criterion SF 1408 pre-award accounting system self-assessment with PASS / WARN / FAIL flags and READY / READY WITH GAPS / NOT READY verdict, five starter policies (Timekeeping, Labor Distribution, Indirect Rate, Cost Allowability, Internal Controls) mapped to SF 1408 criteria, and a gap report routing every FAIL to CPA, consultant, or counsel with a 90/60/45/30/14-day pre-audit timeline plus emergency mode for imminent floor checks. Use when the user says DCAA audit prep, SF 1408 checklist, DCAA pre-award, floor check prep, DCAA timekeeping audit, accounting system adequacy, or DCAA prep skill. Built for small primes pursuing first cost-reimbursement award. Frames floor checks as unannounced standing-readiness, flags labor mischarging as top criminal-referral source, enforces that the Contracting Officer (not DCAA) issues the adequacy determination per DFARS 252.242-7005.

What you get

A production-ready Claude skill that runs the workflow above on your own subscription — no SaaS contract, no procurement cycle, no third-party data layer. Install it and run it on the next pursuit that hits your desk.

How it ships

Delivered as installable source from Products/skills/dcaa-audit-prep-checklist, with an install guide, a verification step, and a published scope (what it does, what it doesn't). Runs inside your Claude instance on the data you provide.

HIGH-TRUST discipline. Where this tool produces pricing, compliance, or past-performance artifacts, FAR/DFARS guardrails and "FOR INTERNAL ESTIMATE USE — NOT A PROPOSAL PRICE" disclaimers are embedded in the output. It does not replace qualified pricer, counsel, or color-team review.
