FAR Compliance: Audit and Consulting Services
Achieve Compliance, Maximize Opportunities
Securing federally or state-funded contracts means complying with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), AASHTO, and GAGAS (Yellow Book) Standards. Federal agencies such as the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), as well as state DOTs, require overhead rate submissions, cost allocations, and financial controls that stand up to audit scrutiny. Missteps can lead to disallowed costs, reduced reimbursements, or failed prequalification which jeopardize contract opportunities.
An effective overhead audit provides an independent review of your indirect cost rates, accounting systems, and internal controls to ensure compliance with FAR 31. This process verifies that overhead costs are accurately classified, allowable under FAR, and properly allocated. This can help your firm avoid costly audit findings and maintain eligibility for government-funded work.
In addition to our audit services, we also offer comprehensive FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) consulting. Our FAR consulting helps your organization develop policies and procedures, optimize cost recovery, and effectively prepare for agency oversight. From accounting system reviews to executive compensation analysis, the right guidance ensures your firm meets regulatory requirements while improving financial efficiency.
Navigate FAR compliance with confidence and focus on growth.
