        1DCAA Contractor Business Systems and Internal ControlsDCAA Contractor Business Systems and Internal ControlsTime: 8:00 am - 3:00 pm
In 2009, the Commission on Wartime Contracting issued a special report on contractor business systems. This report highlights the Commission’s principal conclusion: “Contractor business systems and internal controls are the first line of defense against waste, fraud and abuse.” This report set in motion the promulgation of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Business Systems Rule, which was finalized on February 24, 2012. This course focuses on the development of internal controls for compliance with the DFARS defined Business Systems: Accounting, Estimating, Material Management and Accounting System (MMAS), Earned Value Management (EVM), Purchasing, and Property. The course emphasizes the role of the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) in auditing and evaluating contractors’ internal controls. In fact, DCAA has continuously developed new audit programs for assessing contractors’ compliance with the detailed requirements of the DFARS. This has been an evolution that has resulted in shifting emphases by DCAA up to and including the present time. The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) has similarly adjusted its review criteria as well.
The instruction provides recommended and proven approaches to develop, maintain, and monitor internal business system controls for compliance with Government contract requirements including FAR and DFARS business system requirements. This course is recommended for those individuals who have a fundamental or better background in negotiated government contracting, and government contract regulatory compliance related responsibilities. It will benefit individuals with responsibilities for developing and conducting internal compliance audits and oversight reviews as well as contractors who wish to establish, improve or update existing systems of internal controls. Overall, this course will enhance skills in government contract compliance risk management. Who should attend:
- Compliance Professionals
- Audit and Internal Controls Professionals
- Finance and Accounting Professionals
- Small Business professionals
- Prime Contractors
- Contract Managers and Administrators
- Senior Level Contracts Professionals Learning Objectives:

In response to prior year NDAAs, the DCMA formed the Commercial Item Group (CIG) in 2016 to satisfy congressional intent. One of the primary purposes of the CIG is to scrutinize and evaluate the Commercial Item Determinations (CID) generated by contractors. Many contractors believe determining a product or service as a commercial item was as simple as checking a box on a form and filing it away. However, the DMCA and its CIG analysts have an ever-increasing focus on the “adequacy” of the supporting CID documentation. As a contractor in today’s environment, if you fail to adequately analyze and support your CIDs, you may be determined to have a significant deficiency in your CID process and practice which could lead to a disapproved purchasing system and trigger additional audits of your business systems. This virtual course will provide attendees with a detailed understanding of the CID process and our experts will help advise attendees on the most successful strategies, methodologies, and lessons learned to assist in bulletproofing your CIDs. What you will learn:
- How to determine a product or service is a commercial item
- Understand the supporting documentation for commercial item classification
- How to avoid deficiencies in CID
- Properly documenting commercial item practices
- Developing adequate analysis supporting your claim This live virtual course is eligible for both CLE and CPE credit. Virtual 		21 22 23 24
