A/E Firm Overhead Rates: 2022 Update
Join us for this important and timely virtual training event in which instructor Dan Purvine will discuss critical current issues affecting A/E firm overhead rates and CPA firm indirect cost rate audits. Topics will include the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on A/E firm overhead rates, allowability of costs incurred in response to the pandemic, and other common issues encountered in the development of A/E firm overhead rates and review of those rates by state DOTs. Dan will discuss fundamental FAR Part 31 cost principles and how to apply them to 2021 and 2022 costs. Topics will also include the potential longer-term effects of these issues on A/E firm public sector contracts. This training event will be presented in two 3-hour sessions (each with a short break) over two days. Representatives from WSDOT will also be on hand to discuss their processes.
Who will benefit: A/E firms developing an overhead rate, whether audited or not, and CPA firms performing indirect cost rate audits of A/E firms
