CAS Compliance & Adequacy

Prepare for vigorous DCAA audits, and ensure your organization is equipped to prevent expensive allocability errors and lost profits!

Pressure on contractors to ensure ongoing CAS compliance has increased exponentially due to rising DCAA scrutiny. As the U.S. Government looks to implement meaningful budget cuts and revisit contractor accounting practices, it is critical to ensure uniformity and consistency in your CAS compliance practices throughout the life of your U.S. Government contracts.

At American Conference Institute’s National Summit on CAS Compliance & Adequacy, you will learn practical strategies to overcome the highly technical and complex challenges in achieving and maintaining CAS compliance.

Unlike other CAS training events, this is the only comprehensive, practical conference that will afford you the unique opportunity to benchmark and gain fi rst-hand perspectives from the CAS Board, senior in-house government contract executives, lawyers and accountants. The discussion will not only delve into key requirements, but will also focus on providing you with real-world tools that you can apply to your daily work.

Conference panel discussions are geared to give participants the multi-dimensional perspective that is needed to cover pressing issues affecting industry, including CAS applicability to subcontractors, harmonization of CAS with the Pension Protection Act, and working with your business units to determine what needs to be disclosed and how.Practical sessions will include:

• CAS Board priorities and inter-agency cooperation
• Determining what needs to be included in the disclosure statement when transitioning from non-CAS to CAS-covered contracts
• Managing pension costs under CAS 412 and 413, and overlapping ERISA requirements
• How the ATK Thiokol case affects the allocability of IR&D costs under CAS 420
