The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) engages in abusive personnel practices that result in low morale among employees. One of the abusive practices is to force employees to complete audits within unreasonably short time frames. One result of this is that DCAA does not produce relevant audit reports because auditors are more concerned with producing audit reports within budget and by the deadline than they are in actually ferreting out fraud, waste, and abuse.
While lower-level employees are pressured to perform under unreasonable conditions, upper management is not held accountable for mismanagement and poor performance of the Agency.
