When The Auditors Show Up, Have An Auditor On Your Side
Government audits and reviews can be disruptive, particularly when your team doesn't regularly interact with DCAA, DCMA, or other federal and state oversight organizations.
Instatera brings experience from every side of the audit process. Founder Jennifer Rowe began her career as a DCAA auditor, later supported government contract compliance from within Booz Allen Hamilton's compliance team, and has since guided clients through DCAA, DCMA, and AASHTO-related audits and reviews.
Auditors and contractors don't always speak the same language. We speak both. Our experience on each side of the audit process allows us to translate audit requests into what your team actually needs to do and your team's response into what the auditor actually needs to see.
From initial notification through final resolution, Instatera helps ensure your organization is prepared, responsive, and appropriately represented throughout the process.
More Than Audit Prep, We're With You Through The Audit
Instatera serves as the liaison between your organization and the audit team throughout the engagement. Because we understand both the audit process and the Government contracting requirements behind it, we don't just help you determine what the auditor is asking for, we help you understand why they're asking for it.
From entrance conference through final negotiation and resolution, Instatera can:
-
Participate in entrance conferences, interviews, audit meetings, and exit conferences alongside your team
-
Help interpret auditor requests and understand the underlying audit objective
-
Identify and review documentation responsive to audit requests
-
Prepare employees and management for auditor interviews and process walkthroughs
-
Help develop clear, supported responses to auditor questions and requests
-
Assist in responding to potential findings, questioned costs, and audit positions
-
Support the company through negotiation and final resolution
Throughout the process, we help your team provide auditors with the information they need while ensuring the company understands what is being evaluated, what its documentation demonstrates, and how its position is being represented.
