Substantial Changes To CAS Administration Regulations

Client Alert | 1 min read | 03.16.05

Final rules, effective April 8, 2005, concerning proposed changes to CAS administration requirements that have been pending since April 2000 were promulgated on March 9, 2005 (70 Fed. Reg. 11743-61). The new regulations will be discussed in detail at the upcoming OOPS/WOOPS programs on March 31-April 1/April 14-15, but some of the highlights include:

  • When there is a CAS noncompliance, contract price adjustments may be required for closed contracts and closed years,
  • Improvement in the definition of "desirable" and "required" changes may permit contractors to avoid price adjustments,
  • Retroactive accounting changes are permitted in limited circumstances,

  • Estimates to complete rather than original cost estimates must be used to determine cost impact on FFP contracts.
