Cost Accounting practices, like organizations are not static. They may change over time. Changes may be driven by organic growth, mergers and acquisition, corporate restructuring or triggering different contract requirements. In this webinar, we discuss what constitutes a change to a cost accounting practice and explore the responsibilities for administering changes to cost accounting practices for CAS and non-CAS covered contracts. We will distinguish organizational changes from cost accounting practice changes and discuss notification and disclosure in pricing proposals and contracts, impact on certified cost or pricing data, CASB Disclosure Statement implications and more. Learning Objectives: Session participants will gain knowledge about what constitutes a cost accounting practice change and the administration requirements for CAS and non-CAS covered contracts.

You've quantified the change, now it's time for customer inspection and settlement. Learn the fundamental audit and administration expectations when addressing changes to cost accounting practices. We'll discuss company and customer responsibilities to include ramifications for CAS and non-CAS covered contracts. Additionally, typical audit and analysis characteristics, settlement alternatives and prime contractor/subcontractor responsibilities will be considered. Learning Objectives: In this session, participants will become familiar with common audits and analysis used when supporting cost accounting practice changes. They will learn the audit triggers and key characteristics associated with typical practice change audits and analysis. Finally, participants should be able to identify conventional audit risks and readiness strategies to help mitigate audit risks.
