For controllers, CFOs, government contract accounting managers, and DCAA-compliance leads at aerospace and defense contractors. Build cost accounting that survives a DCAA audit: know whether CAS applies and at what level, defend every cost as allocable, and stay ahead of the 2026 threshold and GAAP-conformance changes rewriting the framework right now. Backed by an AI Workbench that reads the contract, runs the applicability determination, and drafts the memo.
Controllers, CFOs, government contract accounting managers, DCAA-compliance leads, and FP&A leaders at defense contractors and their subcontractors. Anyone who owns the accounting system DCAA examines, the indirect rates that price every proposal, and the incurred-cost submission that closes the year.
DCAA finds your accounting system inadequate. Billings get withheld, progress payments slow, and cash you have already earned sits frozen while you fix a control you did not know was weak.
The auditor reclassifies a pool, challenges an allocation base, or disallows a cost as unallowable under FAR Part 31. The rate drops. The recovery you booked evaporates, sometimes a year after you spent it.
A change in cost accounting practice you did not disclose triggers a cost-impact analysis. Now you owe the government the difference, plus interest, and you are on the 60-day correction clock.
The FY2026 NDAA moved the thresholds. The CAS Board is conforming standards to GAAP and has proposed eliminating several. Your team is still running last year's framework. Your training is teaching numbers that are not true anymore.
After rollout, here is what changes.
Every course includes role-profile onboarding, AI Workbench access, Manager Dashboard visibility, and Audit-Evidence Package export.
Read any government contract and know whether CAS applies and at what coverage level. The 19 standards, including the ones the CAS Board has proposed eliminating, plus allocable vs allowable, the indirect rate machine, the Disclosure Statement, cost-impact and noncompliance, and the FY2026 NDAA threshold restructuring effective June 30, 2026. Built for controllers, CFOs, and DCAA-compliance leads. Pilot cohort enrolling now; modules releasing through 2026.
The allowability counterpart to CAS. Selected cost principles, unallowable cost identification and segregation, expressly unallowable costs and penalties, and the documentation that keeps costs in your rates instead of out of them.
The auditor's-eye view. Accounting system adequacy, the SF1408 pre-award survey, floor checks, the DCAA Contract Audit Manual, and how to assemble evidence so you hand the auditor a map, not a pile.
Pools to rates to forward pricing to billing to incurred cost to final rates. The adequacy checklist, the schedules, FCCM, and the common findings that turn a routine submission into a multi-year audit.
Other CAS training stops at the regulation. Our AI Workbench stays in the work. It reads the contract clauses, determines applicability and coverage, flags where allocable and allowable diverge, and drafts the memo. Trained on 48 CFR Chapter 99, FAR Parts 30 and 31, the FY2026 NDAA, and the DCAA Contract Audit Manual.
Your team enters the contract value and type. The Workbench applies the current thresholds, including the FY2026 NDAA changes effective June 30, 2026, and returns whether CAS applies, at full or modified coverage, and which 52.230 clause attaches.
The single most-confused distinction in govcon accounting. The Workbench separates what CAS makes allocable from what FAR Part 31 makes allowable, cost by cost, so your team stops conflating the two in front of an auditor.
Before the incurred-cost submission goes to DCAA, the Workbench checks pool composition, allocation bases, and FCCM treatment, then flags the allocations an auditor is most likely to challenge, while you can still fix them.
The Workbench drafts the CAS applicability memo, the practice-change and cost-impact narrative, and Disclosure Statement language in the structure an auditor expects. Your controller reviews and signs. Start at a 70% draft, not a blank page.
Watch how the Workbench handles the question every controller is asking in 2026.
Every allocation that survives the audit is cash you keep. Every finding is cash withheld, disallowed, or paid back.
We walk you through a Workbench applicability session, show the Manager Dashboard, and demo the audit-evidence PDF export end to end. After the demo you'll know exactly how this fits your finance team and where pricing lands.
