The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued two more directives on September 18, 2018, promising transparency and communication with contractors.

Directive 2018-08

In Directive 2018-08, OFCCP touts its efforts this year to increase transparency, citing six different OFCCP initiatives, and goes further by seemingly extending transparency to all stages of a compliance evaluation. OFCCP outlines requirements for its staff to follow in the scheduling, pre-desk audit, desk audit, pre-onsite, offsite analysis, and conciliation stages of an OFCCP audit. This is yet another response to the criticisms that were lodged against OFCCP in the Government Accounting Office's (GAO) 2018 report.
