Don’t miss this web-based training in which instructor Dan Purvine will describe methods that A/E firms and CPA firms can use to enhance the quality of A/E firm overhead rate audits and facilitate an easier state DOT review process.  Topics to be covered will include essential audit planning activities for CPA firms, and actions that A/E firms should take before year-end in preparation for the audit.  Dan will explain how to plan the overhead audit to effectively address risk areas, and recommended testing procedures for allowability of costs.  He will discuss the current state of practice for key risk areas such as compensation, bonuses, and vehicle costs, as well as evaluation of A/E firm internal controls.   Dan will provide insights into the state DOT review process and documentation you should be prepared to submit in support of state DOT reviews.

Who will benefit: A/E firms developing an overhead rate, whether audited or not, CPA firms performing overhead rate audits of A/E firms, and public agency audit staff
