This is session 1 of 12 in the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) webinar series.

The application of the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) adds a new level of compliance requirements for contractors and subcontractors. Developed to achieve uniformity and consistency for the measurement, assignment and allocation of costs, organizations frequently deliberate whether a contract is subject to CAS and if so, the level of CAS coverage the contract is subject to. This introductory webinar is the first in a series related to the CAS. The presenters will provide an overview of the CAS and discuss the administrative requirements that come along with CAS coverage.

Upon completion of the hour-long webinar, participants will understand:

The intent of CAS and its relationship with the Federal Acquisition Regulation
Contracts and subcontracts to which CAS applies and the dollar thresholds that "trigger" the CAS coverage
Categories of contracts and subcontracts exempt from CAS requirements
Differences between "Full" and "Modified" CAS coverage
The 19 standards that make up CAS
Disclosure Statement preparation and maintenance requirements
Cost accounting practice noncompliances, changes and associated administrative requirements
