The Government Contracting Accounting System Adequacy –
The Importance of the Accounting Policy Manual Series
Overview
This Government contracting webinar series focuses on the best practices in developing the Accounting System Policies that are pivotal to the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) determination of an adequate accounting system. The key is developing the all-important accounting system policy and procedures manual. This series concentrates on the backbone policies that every contractor needs in writing.
Your company can utilize a cost accounting software package designed for Government contracting and still fail to achieve that all-important letter that recognizes the adequacy of your accounting system. Why do you care? By having a compliant and acceptable accounting system means not only that your software system can accomplish the requirements of a DCAA accounting system review and audit, but that your accompanying accounting policies and practices (procedures) will also meet the DCAA stringent requirements for a prospective contract award.
The speakers in this three-part series will provide their deep and industry-wide experience to help you develop the Accounting System Policies. The best practices identified during the three one-hour presentations will help your accounting experts as well as your operations, ownership, and project management personnel.
