· Small GOVCON Can Stay Small for Longer: Full CAS Threshold from $50M to $100M These reforms illustrate Congress’s intent to widen participation in defense procurement while still ensuring transparency on larger, riskier awards. Contractors should reassess capture plans and compliance systems to take advantage of the new runway before full CAS kicks in at $100M (up from $50M). #CAS #DefenseIndustry #ContractManagement #NDAA #govIRG #GovCon #GovConCommunity #govIRG

'Nontraditional defense contractors' vs 'Traditional'? No FAR Part 31? The FY 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) introduces some of the most significant federal acquisition reforms in decades. While these changes lessen compliance burdens for certain contractors, they do not eliminate the government’s expectation for disciplined accounting, internal controls, and cost visibility.  Organizations that understand where compliance is truly optional versus where it remains essential will be best positioned to compete, price effectively, and protect margins. @Aprio This article outlines the NDAA provisions with the greatest impact on accounting and operations and explains how contractors can translate policy reform into practical and profitable execution. #GovCon #NDAA These thresholds are also outlined in Karly Clayton and David Nieburg article on FAR Updates in 2026.

DCAA just restructured. Your next audit will look very different. The Defense Contract Audit Agency announced major organizational changes in 2024. Here's what changed and why it matters to AEC firms: **What's New:** • Specialized audit teams aligned by product areas • Updated quality management systems • Surge capacity for faster audits • Heavier focus on incurred cost submissions **What This Means:** Audits will be more targeted and potentially faster. Auditors will have deeper expertise in specific areas. The bar for documentation just got higher. **Red Flags That Will Get Attention:** • Late or incomplete incurred cost submissions • Inconsistent indirect rate calculations • Poor compensation documentation • Weak audit trails for overhead pools **What AEC Firms Should Do Now:** 1. Review your incurred cost submission process 2. Document your indirect rate methodology 3. Strengthen payroll and overhead allocation records 4. Create audit-ready supporting schedules The firms that prepare now will breeze through audits. The ones that don't will face delays, questioned costs, and compliance headaches. DCAA's message is clear: they expect higher standards. Your financial systems need to match.
