Congress asked the General Accounting Office (GAO) to establish a panel of experts to study and make recommendations regarding the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) Board and the CAS system against the background of the far-reaching procurement reforms of recent years. This group, the CAS Board Review Panel, believes that there is a continuing need for the CAS and the CAS Board. Cost- based contracts continue to represent the majority of all federal contracting dollars and the original purposes of the CAS--principally the need for uniformity and consistency to protect the government from certain risks inherent in cost-based contracts and to improve communications between the government and contractors with regard to those contracts--remain.
Cost Accounting Standards Board Regulations as of January 1, 2009 reproduces all Title 48, Chapter 99 regulations issued by the Cost Accounting Standards Board plus the nineteen standards included in Part 9903, Subchapter B of the Federal Acquisition Regulation . These standards apply to negotiated contracts issued by all agencies of the government, but do not apply to small business, sealed bid or commercial item contracts and subcontracts. The rules provide consistency in estimating, accumulating, allocating and reporting costs under negotiated government contracts and subcontracts (both defense and civilian). Compliance or noncompliance has a direct bearing on a contractor's recovery of costs, making the book of great value to any entity involved in government contracts . Universities and colleges will also benefit—this volume includes the standards adopted by the CASB on November 8, 1994, applicable to educational institutions that receive negotiated contracts over $500,000. Updated annually, with a topical index and detailed table of contents.
