DCAA-Compliant Timekeeping
Effective timekeeping is a critical component of accounting compliance for government contractors. Diener & Associates provides DCAA-compliant timekeeping services, ensuring that employees’ hours and labor costs are accurately recorded in accordance with the agency’s standards. Our services include:
- A timekeeping system that identifies employees’ labor by intermediate or final cost objectives
- A labor distribution system that charges direct and indirect labor to the appropriate cost objectives
By adhering to these standards, we ensure that all work performed is accurately tracked, and overtime compensation is appropriately managed.
Incurred Cost Electronically (ICE) Model
The DCAA’s Incurred Cost Electronically (ICE) model is an essential tool for government contractors, as it reconciles actual indirect costs incurred over the previous fiscal year with what was provisionally billed. Our team at Diener & Associates expertly utilizes the ICE model, ensuring accuracy and compliance in cost reporting for government contractors. This process helps to maximize cost recovery and maintain financial transparency.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
GAAP comprises a set of accounting principles, standards, and procedures issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Compliance with these principles is vital for maintaining clarity, consistency, and comparability in financial communication. Our experienced CPAs at Diener & Associates have established a robust GAAP framework that simplifies compliance with government regulations, while also addressing complex financial reporting needs.
