“KinetX Aerospace leadership had the vision and determination to put the necessary personnel, resources and processes in place to support the stringent FAR requirements for an accounting system and to be able to sustain an adequacy audit by the DCAA”

The DCAA accounting system Adequacy determination indicates that the KinetX Aerospace cost accounting system is adequate for accumulating and billing costs under government contracts and is suitable for the award of prospective federal cost type contracts.
