Quickbooks for Government Contractors

Did you know that your Quickbooks could be an approved accounting system if set up and operated correctly? In this full day workshop/government accounting training, you will learn how to modify and operate Quickbooks to meet government contracting requirements and pass your DCAA accounting system review.

In government contracting terms, your accounting system is much more than the software package. Thus, there is no “Government approved” accounting systems. The Government will review or audit the individual contractor’s accounting system based on defined criteria. If you can design your accounting system and policies and procedures to adhere to these criteria, your system will be approved. The entire course/government accounting training is designed around the presentation and explanation of these criteria. And then, the instructor demonstrates how to design Quickbooks to meet them. Feel free to bring your laptops with your Quickbooks software and a copy of your database to try your new found skills.
