Join us on Wednesday, June 29 from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM to learn more about the Federal Acquisition Regulation. This session is virtual. Zoom details will be provided by email prior to the event to those who registered. 

This is a four-part training series, facilitated by Capital Edge Consulting. 

  • Wednesday, March 30: Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)
  • Wednesday, June 29: Introduction to Government Contracting
  • Thursday, September 29: Overview of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 31)
  • Tuesday, December 6: Truthful Cost and Pricing Data & FAR Part 14


Overview of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31 Cost Principles and Procedures. These guidelines help maintain consistency between the accounting methods used by different contractors and need to be followed so that government agencies can easily review costs and approve the reimbursement of qualifying expenses. Every contractor needs to be familiar with these guidlines since charging for costs not covered under FAR Part 31 could result in penalties; failing to report every reimbursable cost could considerably reduce a contractor’s profit margin. sbir
