Indirect Rate Strategies: How to Budget for Success!
Event Details
Budgeting indirect rates is a process that goes well beyond dumping last year’s data into an old Excel spreadsheet in order to “guesstimate” next year’s expenses. For the savvy government contractor, it’s an analytical process that looks at various aspects of your company’s historical and future points of view in order to remain competitive and profitable.
Join us for a webinar on October 17, 2023, 3:00 to 4:00 PM EDT presented by Aprio, LLP, that will provide valuable insight into how to develop budgeted indirect rates.
