Web-Based Time Tracking: Your Survival Guide To DCAA Audits

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) has long held government contractors to very steep guidelines when it comes to tracking and reporting time. Back in the day of bulky punch clocks, handwritten timesheets, and tedious reports it was a challenge alone just to keep up, let alone ensure the necessary accuracy and paper trail. Fortunately, many upgraded to some type of digital solution that still could be cumbersome but was slightly more automated. But now a new challenge has surfaced.

Government contract employees are no longer glued to their desk. I know, shocking. Many work in the field, many travel to meetings and go to multiple sites to perform inspections, and there are supervisors who have employees working in several locations. With the increase of mobile employees in the workforce, achieving DCAA compliance on the move is now a widespread contractor concern. It has now become essential for these companies to get a time tracking company with a web-based time tracking, management, and reporting SaaS model that has a proven history of accurately tracking time with the necessary trail. To satisfy these mobile time tracking needs, it must have the time tracking and reporting capabilities to be used with iPhone, Android, and even GPS-stamping to help contractors in-the-field stay DCAA compliant.

Mike McNew with Mike McNew and Associates, an independent DCAA compliance consulting firm, recently recognized TSheets as being a time tracking company with timekeeping technology that’s easy-to-use and helps guard against DCAA audits. “Most timekeeping companies offer expensive and complicated modules to be DCAA compliant, but that really only complicates the day-to-day tracking, management, and reporting it takes to protect against audits in the real world. TSheets is different. It’s point and click easy for supervisors and employees to use and understand, while providing the pinpoint accuracy, record keeping detail and audit trail the government requires.”

The amount of detail that is required in documenting hours is extensive whether a contractor is in the office or in the field. A mobile time tracking solution can achieve that detail from any device or computer specific to project or job code. Daily entries can contain the necessary recorded corrections, approvals, and adjustments. It provides the ability to have immediate and flexible reporting tools, on the go, or more importantly stored securely on the web in case of audit. An experienced and knowledgeable time tracking company will provide a solution that is easy to use and effortlessly keep you in compliance on the go and in real time.

It’s important to remember that although this tracking and reporting task to remain DCAA compliant may sound incredibly complex, a secure web-based time tracking solution does not require an expensive module or slow clunky software. It can actually mean easy set up, no downtime and you can immediately begin receiving the benefits of instant updates.

Go for it! When the next government contract shows up on your desk don’t automatically dismiss it because of the fear of red tape. Sign up for a secure web-based time tracking tool and you’ll find that the added DCAA requirements don’t seem quite as scary anymore.

Feeling the chains of DCAA compliance guidelines holding you back? Let TSheets be your “bolt cutters” and show you how a secure web-based time tracking tool eliminates those tracking, managing, and reporting hassles.
