My process for FAR-compliant books
(What most firms overlook—and get disqualified for)
You want government work.
But your books aren’t ready.
I see it all the time:
- No indirect cost structure
- Timekeeping not audit-proof
- GL isn’t mapped to FAR
- Labor costs are lumped
- Past due filings
- No monthly reconciliations
- Reports don’t support pricing
You don’t “get compliant” after winning.
You do it before.
P.S. The audit won’t wait.
P.P.S. Neither will the IRS.
