Overview
This two-day workshop is a comprehensive exploration of the financial impacts of compensation management practices and compensation costs associated with FAR 31.205-6 Compensation for Personal Services. Course coverage includes DCAA audit practices and trends related to executive compensation, incentive/bonus costs, leave programs, timekeeping, as well as other forms of compensation. The workshop will compare the DCAA use (or non-use) of the Taylor and Metcon cases with the prevailing industry point of view. “Reasonableness” criteria for compensation costs will also be addressed, including sufficiency of documentation and benchmarking practices. The workshop will also outline the pros and cons of utilizing blended indirect rates vs multiple indirect rates for addressing compensation caps. This course schedule anticipates time for discussion of participants’ issues and answering questions.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course you will:
  • Identify executive and other forms of compensation potential audit situations
  • Apply reasonableness criteria for compensation costs
  • Properly document for audit purposes
  • Utilize best practices in accounting for compensation
