Once documented, now it's time for customer inspection. Learn the fundamental audit and administration expectations when supporting adequacy and compliance audits. Disclosure Statements are subject to two types of audits: Adequacy and compliance. The adequacy audit is a barrier to entry audit, meaning the lack of a "clean" opinion can impede a CAS contract award. Additionally, the compliance audits include audit programs identified to each of the 19 standards. In this session, participants will become familiar with the common audits supporting CASB Disclosure Statement compliance and identify conventional risks and readiness strategies to help mitigate audit risks.

This 4-part Disclosure Statement webinar series is a practical guide to explaining the requirements, process, and common challenges encountered by contractors and oversight officials alike. Understanding the compliance requirements is essential to facilitate compliance in CAS-covered contracts.

Is your current indirect cost allocation strategy right for your organization? One of the major benefits afforded by the implementation of Uniform Guidance is the ability for award recipients to negotiate indirect cost rates with the federal government. Unfortunately, many organizations still have not taken full advantage of this benefit. We live in a time where Federal budgets are shrinking and indirect rates are under increased scrutiny. It has never been more important for award recipients to ensure they are efficiently recovering their fair share of administrative costs on Federal awards. If "Set-It-And-Forget-It" is your organization's current strategy for indirect cost recovery this session is for you! In this session, we will examine the updates to the De Minimis rate, the Appendices to 2 CFR 200, and learn how to utilize these changes to optimize your organization's current cost recovery practices. Learning Objectives:  Benefits of having a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement  How to leverage your rates once approved  Best Practices for evaluating your indirect cost recovery practices  Updates to Uniform Guidance
