25 years of doing some of mostly everything in Government contracting, including cost accounting, internal audit, rates/factors calculations, audit liaison, Government property control, socioeconomic reporting, control system adequacy, etc. Also some procurement, subcontract management and prime contract administration. Also some project management under a CPAF task order for the Navy. In recent years, implemented Lean into supply chain management, program management, and contract administration. I have never worked for the U.S. Gov't. as an employee and I have never been an employee of the DCAA. I have been a paid consultant, however, for an Independent Federal Commission, where I provided advice and assistance regarding timekeeping, labor charging and cost accounting matters. For a decade I was a consultant, working in the "Big 4" world of professional accountancy. My specialty was government contract cost accounting and all aspects of sucessfully selling to the Federal government. My clients were in diverse industries, including bio-defense (Project Bioshield vaccine development), environmental remediation, engineering/construction, and traditional aerospace/defense. Selected projects have included: T4C's, resolution of CAS noncompliances, DOD Contractor Disclosure program forensic accounting analysis, expert testimony. I also supported internal and external audits of government contractors, including acting as a "Subject Matter Expert" with respect to Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 internal control system adequacy and revenue recognition under SOP 81-1. I am currently employed by one of the Top 5 Defense contractors, in a $4 billion business segment. I handle government accounting, cost accounting, and DCAA liaison. Apogee Consulting, Inc. is what I do after work hours, and on weekends, with the knowledge and consent of my employer.
