Current Financial and Legal Trends in Government Contracting

This year is proving to be a challenge for government contractors. Federal markets are shifting due to shrinking budgets, new regulations and the changing missions of agencies. While there seems to be a stalemate over budget reform, most government agencies have accepted that leaner times are ahead. This process is a growing source of uncertainty and frustration for government contractors who are trying to win new contracts and hold on to current contracts. This seminar will discuss some of the accounting and legal issues we are helping contractors overcome in 2013.

Some of the current topics our expert will address include:

• Pricing your product and services and how to bid in a low cost environment
• NDAA update – limitations on subcontracting & mentor-protégé programs
• Nondisplacement of qualified workers rule
• How to effectively use consultants and the use of contingency fee arrangements
• Regulatory requirements regarding executive compensation, flow downs, Service Contract Act requirements and the hiring of incumbent employees
• How to effectively deal with young and inexperienced procurement officials
• Increased DCAA audits & investigations
