_______________________________________________________________________________________________

I am a DCAA/Government contract consultant and CPA with 25 years top shelf experience specializing in DCAA, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).  I have been serving government contractors since 1986.  The scope of my services includes all subjects involving the DCAA, the FAR and government contracting in general.  My expertise encompasses practically any industry including all forms of government contracts.  Most of my work involves DoD contracts but I have worked with practically every government procurement agency.  I have also worked on projects involving numerous state and municipal agencies as well.  Most common projects I perform include the following subjects:

  • DCAA audits
  • Accounting system assessments and implementation of DCAA compliant systems
  • Compliance and cost recovery assessments
  • Indirect rates, forward pricing and incurred cost submissions
  • FAR assessments and interpretations
  • Government contract proposals/GSA schedule proposals
  • Compliant systems, procedures and processes
  • Cost Accounting Standards (CAS)
  • Equitable adjustments, terminations, claims, etc.

I have expertise in the most notable government contracting accounting systems, such as Deltek GCS and Costpoint.  For small businesses I have experience with Quick Books.  I have implemented QuickBooks in a manner that is DCAA compliant and have passed objective DCAA audits on numerous occassions. 

I particularly like working with small and medium sized businesses helping them win contracts, overcome DCAA requirements and challenges, maximize cost recovery and cash flow.

I work with large businesses as well offering an expert resource.

DCAA/Government Contracting Experience

My 25 years government contracting experience includes working as a decorated senior auditor for DCAA.  It also includes a long tenure as a Manager for KPMG, a large public accounting and consulting firm (aka KPMG) in its government contracting consulting practice. In this role I helped clients resolve DCAA and government contracting challenges.  I also worked for many years in management positions for government contractors as a CFO, Controller and Contracts Manager.  This vast experience provides me the expertise to provide comprehensive solutions to government contracting challenges taking into account the government's regulatory oversight role and the contractor's objectives.

It is impossible to describe these 25 years of experience in DCAA and government contracting in a few paragraphs.  So please view the links or contact me for more detail.

If you have a government contracting problem, I most likely have a viable solution.

DCAA Provided Guidance on Indirect Cost Limit For Research Projects
This is an information post.  DCAA on December 10, 2009 provided direction and audit guidance to its auditors to determine compliance with the 2009 Appropriations Act.  This Act limits indirect costs on DoD research grants and other contract vehicles.  The limit is 35% of total costs. DCAA has instructed its auditors to verify compliance with this requirement and to audit the contractor's internal controls regarding this compliance requirement.

Contractors should keep this in mind understand its indirect costs invoicing will be to limited to this cap and make adjustments in its billing procedures to not exceed this limitation.  Should you have questions on this or been requested by DCAA to demonstrate your system meets this requirement please contact me.
