New government contractors repeat the same accounting mistakes year after year. Each one inflates billings, triggers audit findings, or disqualifies the contractor from cost-reimbursable work entirely. Amerifusion Bookkeeping identifies the seven costliest errors and how to fix them before DCAA arrives.

The SF 1408 pre-award survey determines whether your accounting system qualifies for cost-type government contracts. This guide covers all 14 evaluation criteria, 5 common failure points, and a preparation checklist.

Winning a government contract changes your accounting obligations overnight. The federal government requires a different financial system than commercial work, and the penalties for non-compliance hit your revenue directly.
