Resolving Challenges with Most Frequent Business System Audits

Live Webinar | 02/17/21 | 2:00-3:00 PM EST

Summary

For government contractors, a lot of pressure is put on business systems to exist and be adequate against the DFARS criteria.  Business systems can provide benefits beyond “checking the box” on regulatory requirements. If implemented properly, these “systems” can provide the internal controls and management oversight necessary to make strategic business decisions. In addition, we’ll review the latest buzz around RFP points for business systems in various major procurements and the latest on CMMC in future procurements.  Join us to understand why these are so important to your business. 

  • Review the 18 DFARS Criteria of Accounting System Review
  • Triggers and Audit Process for Top 3 Business Systems
  • Common Misunderstandings and Audit Failures
  • Interrelationship of the Business Systems
  • Responsibilities of the Prime for Sub’s Business Systems
