Looking beyond FAR 31.205-18 and CAS 420, this webinar will introduce the different classifications of R&D costs, the circumstances and purpose supporting each type of effort and overview the applicable Government contract cost accounting and allowability requirements. This session will establish the foundation for this 4-part webinar series. Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, participants will become familiar with FAR 31.205-18, IR&D and B&P and CAS 420, Accounting for IR&D and B&P costs and be able to identify the seven categories of R&D costs; understand the key differences between each category; describe circumstances underlying each type of activity and establish the foundation for a deeper dive into the cost accounting and allowability of each category of R&D costs.
