And, unlike Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), requires full absorption accounting.

• Introducing participants to some of the differences and reasoning between financial accounting and government contract accounting; 
• Addressing key requirements such as cost allowability and Cost Accounting Standards (CAS); and
