Date: September 13, 2010

"Accounting Requirements for Federal Contractors" is designed to assist business people in establishing an accounting system that will be found acceptable by the federal government.

Many federal contract awards are contingent upon finding that a contractor's accounting system is sound. This includes having specific written accounting policies that can perform certain cost, timekeeping and billing functions. Agencies conduct unique financial health audits prior to awarding some contracts. This class explains the role of the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and the expectations of a contractor's accounting system.

Topics to be discussed include Segregation of Costs, Unallowable Costs, Direct/Indirect Costs, Allocation Pools, Timekeeping Requirements, Financial Capability Audits and SBA Certificate of Competency (COC).

This presentation is recommended for corporate accountants, payroll personnel and small business owners who perform their own bookkeeping functions.
