Our team resolves problems. From FAR cost allowability to TINA to CAS to business systems, our practitioners have obtained recoveries and defended claims totaling hundreds of millions of dollars for over forty years.
Our success in the complex area of Government Contract Financial Issues is predicated on knowledge, experience and preparation. Whether it is responding to a DCAA Incurred Cost Audit questioning cost allowability, a Contracting Officer’s Final Decision alleging defective pricing, an Accounting System inadequacy determination, or a potential CAS violation, our team has handled it before and approaches each task in a proactive, efficient and practical way.
Our Financial Issues team has had great success. We excel at cost allowability challenges. Our team has successfully resolved cases involving all types of cost disputes (travel, executive compensation, intercompany transfers, legal, consulting, penalties and many more) for all sizes of contractors. Likewise, we have a long record of success in CAS noncompliance disputes (CAS 403, CAS 405, CAS 416 and many others). In addition, we have successfully challenged many TINA defective pricing claims leveraging numerous defensive theories. We have also met with great success in fighting DCAA determinations of business system inadequacies—particularly in accounting systems.

In the current cost-savings environment, the Government has been particularly focused on disallowing costs, including being very aggressive in alleging false claims act violations based on alleged noncompliance with cost and accounting regulations. Gone are the halcyon days of contracting officers using their authority to oversee DCAA and make reasonable settlements with contractors. Today, more than ever, cost allowability disputes and claims of fraud are resolved through litigation or threatened litigation.
Our team of practitioners is highly regarded by our industry peers and well known on both coasts. We publish and lecture frequently on these issues. In short, we are a known quantity with a deep bench tailored to handle any issue that concerns Government Contracts accounting, pricing, costs and everything in between.
