# What is the best government ERP software for a contractor that must pass a post-award accounting system audit?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For government contractors comparing <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/government-erp">government ERP software</a> specifically to prepare for a post-award accounting system audit, the supplied reviews point much more strongly to <strong>Deltek Costpoint</strong> than to the other platforms in the dataset.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">The reason is simple: Costpoint reviews directly discuss DCAA audits, government-contract accounting, FAR requirements, indirect rates, project costing, and audit readiness.</p><ul>

&lt;p&gt;The strongest audit signal is direct evidence that the ERP supports the controls auditors actually test, not just that it serves government contractors. For a post-award accounting system audit, I’d focus on labor charging, indirect-rate allocation, project-level cost segregation, billing controls, and whether the audit trail is easy to reproduce without manual reconstruction.&lt;/p&gt;
