Emerging Issues: The critical role your accounting system plays in SBIR/STTR success

This series, WPI’s Emerging Issues Series, is intended as an information tool and resource for contract managers and those with a compliance function. The topics selected for the initial group of Webinars are just some of the important topics. Some have not held the spotlight like others but nevertheless they are important. Others, such as Innovation and AI have recently emerged and have shown that they are not just a passing curiosity but truly topics of importance that will continue to impact DoD policy and provide procurement opportunities. These topics included in our first group, are current topics that need attention and need to be addressed. We expect that over time other issues – topics will emerge and come to the forefront. As these topics are identified we will add them to this series.

Success as a SBIR/STTR proposer depends on several factors beyond the submitted research idea. Of these factors, the company’s accounting system may determine whether or not an award is made. The accounting system and company policies and procedures must align with DCAA requirements. Ultimately, the accounting system must be determined to be adequate as defined by DCAA. This webinar will review solicitation requirements and provide an overview of DCAA’s Audit Process.

Presenter: Marc Violante, Director, Federal Market Strategies, Wisconsin Procurement Institute.

This webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.
