Multi-segment corporations play a significant role in government contracting, leveraging diverse capabilities across industries. However, the structure of having multiple segments report to a centralized home office isn't limited to large corporations.

The USG acquisition cycle tends to be longer and more complicated than the commercial sector. FAR and CAS introduce requirements for more granularity in our cost accounting and pricing. These requirements breed plenty of confusion and are often miscalculated. Common questions arise, such as:  What's the difference between selling and B&P costs  Why does it matter  When does selling end and B&P begin  Why must all contractors measure B&P according to CAS 420 In this session, we'll walk through the capture process and relate each selling gate to the applicable regulations. Learning Objectives: This session will eradicate the common misconceptions the Government contractor community encounters as we elucidate the applicable contract cost principles and CAS requirements.

Budgets are tight; inflation is rampant; vendor, supplier, and employee costs continue to climb; and capital investment is falling. In times such as this, facilities capital cost of money (FCCM) may be worth the trouble for some Government contractors. Cost of Money is an imputed cost related to contractor capital committed to facilities. It is not interest! It is contractor compensation for using its own capital to invest in facilities and equipment that benefit the Government rather than the contractor earning a return on that investment. Learning Objectives: Our session will explore the requirements, calculations, advantages, and disadvantages of pricing and accounting for cost of money.

We'll kick off this web series by acquainting ourselves with TINA. Cost-based acquisition relies on information from the contractor's books and records, including historical and budgetary data, when pricing contracts.

Learning Objectives: This session explores the triggers, exceptions, and pitfalls associated with our gal TINA.
