In today's federal marketplace, compliance is the name of the game. Government contractors are held to standards that stretch beyond the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) carry stricter rules that businesses must follow in order to bid on and win lucrative contracts.
