Implementing Cost Effective & Compliant Cost Accounting Systems For Federal R&D Grants -- Includes Quickbook Set-up Session!
March 11, 2010 - Herndon, VA
(8:30 AM - 12:30 PM)
If you don’t have a compliant cost accounting system, your federal research grant projects can be delayed and award not made if you are not prepared to implement a compliant cost accounting system.
In some cases, you must show that you have already been using the system in order to pass an audit.
Auditors are busier than ever -- If you don’t pass an audit, you may need to wait another 6-9 months before you can be re-evaluated.
This session will examine the keys to a successful cost accounting system and structure in the most economical way possible. Session will show in depth implementation of QuickBooks and how it can be configured to meet all DCAA audit requirements. Ideal for first time grant recipients (such as SBIR) and for those who will be applying for larger projects in the next year that will require an audit.
