Join Defense Contract Audit Agency as we break down the impact of the 2019 GAO “Contract Financing” report and the subsequent Office of the Under Secretary of the Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Defense Pricing and Contracting finance study, which cited government compliant accounting systems, Cost Accounting Standards, and FAR Cost Principles as barriers to entry for small businesses looking to enter the Defense Industrial Base. During this presentation, DCAA will look at the types of contract awards and the requirements for each, as well as the common misconceptions of FAR, CAS, and TINA.
