After 3 years in the making, the
FAR council released language that will permit contractors to use statistical
sampling to identify and exclude unallowable costs, rather than maintaining
segregated cost pools. But just because the FAR allows it, don’t think
the auditors will automatically accept it. Negotiating a solid advance agreement
is the key to preventing auditor sign-off delays at contract close-out and
possible penalties. That’s just one of the
tools contractors now have at their disposal that, if used correctly,
simplify government cost accounting. Invite your contract administrators,
contract managers, CFO, comptroller, financial managers, cost/price analysts,
proposal writers, program managers, billing and accounts receivable personnel
to uncover more field-tested tips in this strategy-filled seminar. Find
out:
- Statistical sampling vs. specific cost segregation:
Where are the big time savers?
- Methodology and requirements of statistical sampling
- Negotiating advance agreements: Who you want to negotiate
with and why
- The key elements of the successful agreement
- How to speed auditor sign-off and prevent payment
delays and unallowable cost penalties
Plus, we’ll leave plenty of time for Q&A so
you can address your unique challenges and learn from the guidance of
your peers.
