FAR Audits – Florida
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) – Florida
Florida government contractors, architectural and engineering firms, and other companies are often required to undergo a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) audit. Organizations working on government contracts involving cost reimbursements, incentives, time and materials, and labor-hour contracts must comply with FAR 31 Regulations. This compliance ensures proper overhead rate calculations and adherence to cost accounting standards (CAS). For those bidding on government contracts, it is essential to prepare by developing a compliance strategy, optimizing indirect recovery costs, and improving financial controls. Whether your business is already subject to the requirement, or needs assistance preparing for FAR compliance, McKonly & Asbury can help.

FAR Audits - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Securing federally or state-funded contracts often requires compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). Failure to comply can result in disallowed costs, reduced reimbursements, or even failed prequalification, putting valuable contract opportunities at risk. Ensuring compliance through audits and consulting helps your organization avoid costly mistakes and stay eligible for government-funded projects.
A FAR overhead audit provides an independent look at your indirect cost rate calculations, accounting systems, and internal controls to ensure compliance with FAR. The audit helps ensure that overhead costs are classified correctly, allowable under FAR, and properly allocated. This process helps your firm avoid audit findings, maintain eligibility for government contracts, and optimize your cost recovery.
