Join us for this fast-paced course where instructor Dan Purvine of A/E Clarity will cover key issues you need to know to develop a FAR compliant overhead rate for your A/E firm or to perform successful audits or reviews of A/E firm overhead rates.
This one-day course uses a hands-on, solutions-based approach to examine some of the most challenging issues faced by A/E firms, CPA firms, and state DOTs in developing, auditing, or reviewing A/E firm overhead rates.
The course will begin with a discussion of current events affecting A/E firm overhead rates, including proposed changes to the AASHTO Audit Guide and the effects of Employee Retention Credits.
Topics will include key risk areas for labor and compensation costs as well as a discussion of FAR Part 31 requirements for allowability of costs. The course will include a review of examples illustrating a process to evaluate risk areas related to an A/E firm’s overhead rate and important pitfalls to avoid in developing overhead rates and related disclosures.
The course includes a discussion of typical areas addressed in the state DOT review process and important procedures and internal controls that A/E firms should have in place to facilitate the review process and approval of their submitted overhead rate.
This course will be beneficial to A/E firms, CPA firms, and state DOT personnel who are involved in developing or auditing overhead rates or maintaining internal controls and systems that support the development of such rates.
