PROVIDING CLARITY AND COMPLIANCE IN A COMPLEX INDUSTRY
Between the abundance of specialized requirements and the niche-specific risks government contractors face, it can be hard to know where your business stands at any moment. Are you fully compliant? Are you allocating indirect costs properly? Are you taking advantage of the most profitable tax strategies?
The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) has thousands of auditors scrutinizing contracts and government contractors. Making one small mistake could cost you an opportunity to bid on new projects or complete those you’ve already won. Moreover, the requirements you encounter are constantly changing and the pressure to provide more with shrinking budgets grows.
With our team of experts at Sikich, you have a partner who shows you how to navigate your way through the government’s purchasing world of acronyms, audits and ever-changing regulations. We take the complex requirements of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the DCAA and simplify them into profitable processes you can understand and follow.
