No w required for both Defense and Civilian agencies. Includes coverage of n ew developments and any prospective implications of the Pension Protectio n Act of 2006. They were born out of frustration - out of the Government' s smoldering irritation in dealing with contractors' differing accounting practices and high-dollar claims for price increases. Yet, like them or not, they are here to stay. Indeed, they may aptly be compared to the so- called "truth in negotiation" requirements which (whatever may be their w eaknesses) will probably always be part of the procurement picture. It al l began in 1970, with the passage by Congress of the statute which create d the Cost Accounting Standards Board and charged that Board with the dut y of prescribing Standards for realization of "uniformity" and "consisten cy" in contractors' cost accounting practices. The resulting Standards ha ve, predictably, had a major impact on the procurement process - an impac t whose shock waves are still being felt. So we all must accommodate to C ost Accounting Standards - we all, in plain words, must learn to live wit h them. It is for that reason that this special program has been develope d. Scope & Technique Because the Cost Accounting Standards are complex - often hard to read, let alone understand - careful attention has been pai d to the substantive content and instructional technique of this course. It starts with a finely crafted exposition of the system as a whole; foll ows this with consideration of the methods by which the Standards are adm inistered and enforced; turns to an analysis of disclosure statements and of the Standards' relationship to recognized cost accounting practices-a nd, finally, swings into detailed study of the critical substantive Stand ards. To assure understanding, maximum provision has been made for questi oning by the audience. Toward that end instructors will (a) deliver infor mation-packed lectures and (b) answer your questions-concentrating on par ticular aspects of their subjects which are of interest to you. Our purpo se: To make certain that you learn the Standards' requirements and know w hat must be done to comply with them.
