Do you expect to be involved in the winning or running of a US Department of Defense (DOD) contract or a related subcontract? If so, you need to join our Fundamentals for US Government Contracts and Subcontracts Training Workshop where you can obtain an awareness of the major issues in this complex area of contracting. The workshop provides an introduction to the risks within the regime and the commercial landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n Whilst there have always been high level similarities between the pricing and reporting requirements of UK and US government contract systems there are also very many differences, some of which are significant and potentially very damaging to ignore.<\/span><\/p>\n A good understanding of the UK or US nation\u2019s controls and governance system will assist the understanding of the other nation\u2019s requirements, however, knowledge of one can easily cause too great an expectation of similarity.<\/span><\/p>\n All contracts with US DOD are subject to the US Federal Acquisition Regulations (FARs), augmented by the Department of Defense FAR Supplement (DFARs). Although few UK companies have prime contracts, their subcontracts will include suitably modified FAR and DFAR clauses and provisions. These sub-contracts, at whatever level, are not government contracts but commercial contracts in support of a government contract. DOD encourages prime contractors to flow down FARs clauses and provisions to establish purchaser rights necessary to manage effectively the sub-contract and, where required, to establish US Government 3rd party rights. This workshop will introduce delegates to the regulations and assist in enabling them to understand what clauses and provisions are reasonable and appropriate to the circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n The workshop will provide you with:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The course is led by John Ashley.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n John is a Chartered Accountant with substantial experience in both the private and public sectors.
