How to Maximize Your Overhead Rate on Government Contracts

Presented by Chad J. DaGraca, CPA of DiCicco, Gulman & Company LLP

The dollar volume of time-and-material government projects that require an overhead rate audit is increasing in 2010 and beyond. In order to bid (and win) these projects, your firm needs to be able to determine, substantiate, and maximize your reimbursable overhead rate.

To be truly profitable on time-and-material government contracts, where firms are reimbursed under an allowable overhead rate billing model, design and finance professionals like yourself need to understand the impact that small differences can have when applied to an annual contract value.
