Government Contracting Series Topics Announced
Lenora Leasure
PTAC Program Manager
The JARI PTAC invites you to attend the Government Contracting Series workshop sponsored and presented by Wessel & Company on Thursday, May 30, 2019.
Manufacturers, service companies, or technology firms already have the right tools to produce a quality product, execute high level service, or deliver the latest and greatest technology. To be successful in federal government contracting, businesses also need to be equipped with the right tools to manage contract risk, stay compliant, and make a profit. Being duly informed of regulations, requirements, and best practices are all crucial for success.
The Government Contracting Series workshop will include updates on government funded technology innovation including tax reform, research & development, grants, contract monitoring and data analysis. Smart Manufacturing and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) will also be covered during the session, particularly what it means and how it works. Additionally, the session will include a presentation on industry updates including provisional rates, accounting systems reviews and DCAA/DCMA updates.
This educational program is intended for program managers, contract, procurement, or finance professionals who are involved with companies that have prime or subcontracts with the Federal Government (or companies who want to begin to get involved with government contracts).
