Upcoming Events

Accounting For Government Contractors

Valuable time and money are spent submitting proposals in pursuit of government contracts. That money may be wasted if your accounting system isn’t “ready for prime time.” Your next government contract award, as a prime or sub, may be dependent on having a compliant accounting system and small businesses are NOT exempt. Failure to maintain an adequate accounting system may preclude a contractor from award of a federal contract.

Join Aronson & Company’s Nicole Mitchell for a complimentary breakfast briefing on February 24th where she will guide you through the world of accounting for federal contracts. Attendees will get a look at basic accounting requirements for federal contractors and what you can expect from an audit. Topics will include:

• Accounting System Requirements
• Segregation of Costs
• Allowability of Costs
• Types of Government Audits
• Current Events in the Federal Marketplace
• Best Practices in the Industry

You don't need to be an expert, but you must understand the fundamentals. When in doubt, don't guess. Stop, get up to speed as fast as you can, and then fire away…your next opportunity awaits! Register today to reserve your seat!
