Account for Anything™ with Aprio

To be successful in the world of government contracting, you need to understand complex compliance requirements and know how to identify and neutralize risk. Optimizing your indirect rate structures and direct cost budgets and forecasts to establish compliant business systems is not a check-the-box exercise; it is essential to a strong accounting, internal control, and reporting foundation.

With Aprio as your long-term partner, you can confidently navigate these complexities at every stage of growth. As your business evolves, from emerging small contractor to midsize enterprise to large, publicly traded company, we bring the experience of working with hundreds of government contractors to help guide strategic decisions, anticipate new requirements, and align your compliance posture with your business goals.

Our team includes former Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) auditors, CPAs, contract managers, and former contracting officers who have faced these challenges from all sides. That first-hand industry experience allows us to deliver practical, timely solutions that help you boost profitability, reduce risk, and maintain compliance as regulations and your business needs continue to change.

Our Focus Areas

Aprio’s dedicated specialists have the technical and industry experience to assist you in every aspect of government contract compliance, including:

  • Compliance Assessments

    We’ll review and summarize your government contracts in plain language, assess your market strategy, perform a gap analysis to determine whether all requirements are being met, and implement a “get well” plan for any requirements still outstanding.

  • Critical Business Systems

    Our team will evaluate and test your current accounting, estimating, CPSR, EVMS, GPMS, and MMAS systems for compliance, as well as implement any changes needed to help them run effectively. We’ll also leverage them across other established processes and controls to lessen the impact on your workflow.

  • Fractional & Full Contract Management

    Aprio can help you manage GWACs, IDIQ contracts, OASIS+ contracts, and other multi-award and Best in Class (BIC) contract vehicles. Our services extend to NDAs, teaming agreements, subcontracts, REAs or termination claims, novations, and briefs, and we’ll also handle all correspondence, reviews, and negotiations from start to close-out.

  • Customized Training

    Most contractors who get in trouble do so by ignoring rules and regulations. Our team is ready to help your business with any training needs to get you and your team up to speed on compliance, risk, and more.

  • Incurred Cost Submissions (ICS)

    Contractors with flexibly priced contracts are required to submit an annual Incurred Cost Submission under FAR 52.216-7. Aprio’s team relieves this burden by preparing a customized, adequate ICS tailored to your business, in full compliance with FAR 52.216-7.

  • DCAA or other Cognizant Audit Agency Support

    Be prepared before your auditors arrive. From floorchecks and ICS audits to business system reviews and other examinations, our team helps you plan for, support, and actively manage the audit process from start to finish.

  • Contract Terminations & Request for Equitable Adjustment (REAs)

    Aprio’s team is experienced in partnering with legal counsel and contractors to support recovery efforts related to stop-work orders, terminations, and other contract changes, helping quantify and document costs to maximize reimbursement.

Experience You Can Trust

In the highly regulated environment of government contracting, one misstep can have serious consequences. An ounce of compliance is worth a pound of cure, and the right guidance upfront can save time, money, and reputation later.

Aprio’s experienced team has advised more than one thousand government contractors on complying with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Beyond meeting minimum requirements, we design and implement practical solutions that help maximize profitability while minimizing risk.
