The REPORT and DIGEST:
HIGHLIGHT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT. The substance of most contracting and accounting regulations is not limited to written material in government manuals. New proposals likely to be implemented, decisions of appeals boards and courts, guidelines contracting officers and auditors are asked to follow and opinions of experts truly define the practical meaning of regulations. We, not you, conduct the research to identify the most important developments and insights.
PRESENT MATERIAL CLEARLY, QUICKLY AND INEXPENSIVELY. We present the material clearly and simply without presuming our reader has or even wants a mastery of government regulations. We ensure our reader can digest the information they need to know in minimal time at up to one tenth the cost of other publications.
PROVIDE FREE ACCESS TO EXPERT ADVICE. Our “Ask the Experts” program enables subscribers to submit questions and chat at no charge to a member of our panel of imminent specialists in government costing, pricing and contracting. The panel consists of well known lawyers and consultants who have been former COs, DCAA auditors and supervisors and controllers/CFOs..
ARE WRITTEN BY EXPERIENCED PRACTITIONERS. All contributors have extensive industry and government experience. They now help companies manage procurement regulations and hence write about matters of practical significance to both small and large contractors.
HIGHTLIGHTS DCAA GUIDANCE. If you anticipate having contact with the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) or other government auditors the newsletters are indispensable. Our experience as former DCAA auditors provides readers both formal and informal up-to-date guidance DCAA is likely to follow as well as effective challenges to their opinions.
ACCESS TO PRIOR ARTICLES. All current subscribers will be able to access all newsletters going back to 1999. We provide a convenient index of all prior issues with a list of articles in each and subscribers will be able to link to the desired newsletter and view on screen and download a hard copy.
