While we see numerous trainings this time of year focused on Incurred Cost preparation, this is NOT your typical Introduction to Incurred Cost preparation and how to fill out the required schedules. While there will be some of that, we will focus on risk analytics and what you can do while preparing your Incurred Cost Proposal to proactively identify risk areas before the auditors do. We will look specifically at select of the Defense Contract Audit Agency’s (DCAA) Mandatory Annual Audit Requirement (MAARs) through the lens of identifying risk. MAARs are more than just floor checks and can provide valuable insights into many of the risk analytics that you can understand and perform to get a step ahead. We will share some of our most memorable findings, insights, and techniques from both the preparation and audit points of view.

Learning Objectives:

Gain a basic understanding of the Incurred Cost Proposal requirements.
Gain an understanding of the Mandatory Annual Audit Requirements (MAARs).
Learn how to apply risk analytics to your Incurred Cost Proposal and source data to identify risky cost areas and transactions.
Gain insights from a real-life auditor and preparer on findings from Risk Analytics techniques.
