U.S. Government contracting is a niche industry that involves unique regulatory requirements in the accounting field. The two most common areas that every government contractor that has cost reimbursable contracts is the requirement to prepare an annual Incurred Cost Submission (ICS) and preparing cost or price proposals that include projected indirect rates. Lastly, this all-day session will be round out with an overview of the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) and a presentation on hot topics including issues with the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) who typically audit government contractors.
