McCaskill Chimes In On DCAA Leadership Change

By Robert Brodsky

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., one of the chief congressional critics of the recent problems at the Defense Contract Audit Agency has released a statement about the reassignment of agency Director April Stephenson.

"This is just a first step in a long list of changes that need to happen at DCAA," McCaskill said. "There is a culture at DCAA and the Defense Department that has allowed the agency to go so far down this very wrong path. While I am encouraged by Comptroller Hale's recent decision, the Defense Department still has a long way to go before it restores DCAA's credibility as an auditing agency."
