Who this helps
Government contractors whose contracts require an Incurred Cost Submission and teams that need help assembling or reviewing the underlying information. Whether you are preparing your first submission or working through a difficult year-end close, the starting point is your actual contract obligations and accounting records.
What we help solve
Disconnected spreadsheets, unresolved year-end balances, inconsistent cost classifications, and schedules that do not tie to the books can slow preparation. Regina helps trace figures back to their sources and identify information that is missing before the package is treated as complete.
What support can include
- Discuss submission requirements, the relevant fiscal year, and the condition of the accounting records.
- Organize trial balances, general ledger details, contract information, and other supporting inputs.
- Support the preparation and reconciliation of indirect cost pools, allocation bases, and related schedules.
- Review consistency across schedules and help explain differences or items requiring attention.
- Help organize a clear support file and address accounting questions arising during preparation.
Your engagement is tailored to your records, contracts, and priorities. Regina will confirm the scope, fees, responsibilities, and timing before work begins.
How we work together
The first conversation establishes the period involved, the status of your books, and the support you need. Regina can then outline a preparation or review engagement. If cleanup is needed first, that work can be identified before submission schedules are finalized. Your team retains responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of information supplied and for required approvals.
Common questions
Does every government contractor need an Incurred Cost Submission?
Requirements depend on your contracts and applicable provisions. Regina can discuss your situation and the records involved; do not assume that one rule applies to every contractor.
Can you work with a submission we already started?
Yes. Describe which schedules are complete and where you need help. The engagement can focus on reconciliation, preparation support, or specific accounting issues.
Is an adequacy checklist the same as government acceptance?
No. A checklist helps evaluate the required content, but it does not replace government review or guarantee that a submission will be accepted. Use the current agency guidance relevant to your submission.
