Description
If you’re new to government contracting or want to increase your firm’s profitability, this workshop will help you better understand how the government evaluates and approves your hourly rates. It is critical that you know what goes into your cost pools and how to maximize your indirect cost rates for a greater multiplier. Dan Markham and Jennifer Clippinger, with Markham & Associates PC, will show you how FAR-compliant rates are calculated, the difference between allowable and unallowable costs, how a firm’s policies affect their indirect cost rate, and how to ensure your government projects are profitable. You’ll also learn how to account for PPP loans and forgiveness so your rates don’t take a hit.

What You'll Learn:
• How to calculate FAR-compliant indirect cost rates for government contracting
• How to create business and accounting policies that maximize your IDC
• The difference between allowable and unallowable costs
• The effect that tax planning has on the indirect rate
• Examples about how your policies can affect your indirect rate
