Financial Forum 2021: Selected Cost Principles Part 2: Selling, B&P, IR&D, and related costs

Summary

This webinar, the second of a two part series on selected cost principles, will discuss the allowability of selling costs, bid and proposal (B&P) costs, independent research and development (IR&D) costs, and related costs incurred during the performance of a government contract. Contractors frequently face challenges from government auditors and contracting officers concerning the allowability these costs. Thus, the purpose of this webinar is to provide an in-depth analysis of common situations that arise regarding these cost principles and to discuss recent trends in government enforcement/interpretation of these cost principles. The webinar will conclude with a discussion of contractor best practices for establishing the allowability of these costs and overcoming audit challenges in these areas.

Each registration allows for one person to log in. Your team members can join you in a conference room for no additional cost. Additional logins for those located in other offices, working remotely, or otherwise unable to participate with the registrant can be purchased for $200 each.
