SUMMARY:Part 2 of 2 of the Cost Reimbursable Requirements Series includes Audits Under the SBIR/STTR Program
DESCRIPTION:Your local APEX Accelerator and the National APEX Accelerator Alliance (NAPEX) are excited to announce the upcoming DCAA Cost Reimbursable Requirements Series. Part 2 of 2 of the Cost Reimbursable Requirements Series includes Audits Under the SBIR/STTR Programs from a DCAA Perspective and Accounting System Requirements. \nEach year\, over 5\,000 contracts totaling well over $3.2 billion are awarded for SBIR/STTR programs. Learn more about these programs and how your company may benefit from these types of contract awards. DCAA will define its role\, outline DCAA audits applicable to SBIR/STTR\, explain ways small businesses can prepare for audits\, and discuss resources available for small businesses. \nPrior to being awarded a cost-reimbursable contract\, federal government contractors need to ensure their accounting system is adequate for determining costs applicable to federal contracts. This is accomplished when DCAA conducts a Pre-Award Accounting System Audit at the request of a federal agency.  During this training\, DCAA will discuss the federal regulations that define an acceptable accounting system\, evaluate the minimum requirements of the SF 1408 criteria\, and how small businesses can prepare for this type of audit.  Experts from DCAA will differentiate between direct versus indirect costs\, define total contract costs\, provide an overview of indirect allocation bases\, and learn how FAR Part 31 clauses describe allowability\, allocability\, and reasonableness.

SUMMARY:Financial Management
DESCRIPTION:While having a fantastic product and top-notch marketing is essential\, it’s equally crucial to understand your financial health. Without the knowledge of budgeting\, recordkeeping\, and accurate cash flows\, your business could face uncertainty. This workshop will help you learn to craft a solid startup budget\, forecast cash flows\, and expertly analyze your break-even point. In the workshop we’ll not only discuss the budgeting process but we’ll use IDRS’ Cash Flow projection tool to develop a budget that you can use to manage your business. You will learn how to estimate sales and expenses and where you can go to get information that you can use in creating your budget. And because creating a budget is an important planning tool for both business and the family\, the principles in this workshop will be helpful for creating a family budget too.
