Additional Business Systems Reviews Proposed
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 07.17.14
The government issued a proposed rule on Monday that would require contractors subject to withholdings under the Business Systems Rules to conduct annual internal reviews of their accounting, estimating, and material management and accounting business systems and engage an independent CPA firm to conduct audits every three years (or more frequently if directed by the contracting officer). The proposed rule if adopted as drafted would likely result in inefficiency and delay because it contemplates DCAA review and approval of the independent CPA work plan, audit, and workpapers and permits DCAA to challenge the findings of the independent CPAs.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) published a final rule amending 14 CFR Part 234 that fundamentally changes how airlines report the causes of flight delays and cancellations. Effective October 19, 2026, the rule implements Section 511(b) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 by creating a new reporting category, the “Section 511(b) category,” for ten specific events that Congress determined are not attributable to airline control. The rule simultaneously narrows the existing "Air Carrier" reporting category by expressly excluding those same ten events.
