FAR Audits – Birmingham (AL)

For many Birmingham and Alabama architecture and engineering firms, government and state Department of Transportation (DOT) contracts are an essential source of revenue. Since these contracts require compliance with government regulations when bidding on and performing services, a Federal Acquisition (FAR) audit is required. The audits are essential for validating the contractor’s indirect costs are properly calculated, classified, and allocated. This helps contractors to maintain eligibility for contracts, avoid non-compliance penalties, and recover costs. Whether this is your first audit or part of ongoing compliance, it is important to work with a qualified provider.

FAR Audit Experience

Brady Ware provides AASHTO and FAR audit services to companies in Birmingham and Alabama. We work closely with those subjected to AASHTO and FAR Part 31 regulations to ensure compliance with established regulations. Our team members are familiar with the nuances involved in both standards and undergo ongoing training to stay current with changing trends. This results in a comprehensive and value-added audit experience.


AASHTO/FAR Audit Services

  • State DOT Acceptance: Our audits are performed to the rigorous standards of Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) and follow the specific guidance of the AASHTO Uniform Audit & Accounting Guide. This ensures your rate is recognized and accepted by all State Departments of Transportation.
  • FAR Part 31 Compliance: We provide a comprehensive review and audit of your Schedule of Indirect Costs based on the cost principles in Part 31 of the FAR. You receive the necessary Opinion Letter and certified report required to confidently submit your rate for billing.
  • Strategic Cost Segregation: We perform an in-depth analysis of your direct, indirect, and unallowable costs. We find opportunities to maximize your allowable costs (like fringe benefits and facility costs) to achieve a higher, yet fully justifiable, reimbursement rate.
  • Unallowable Cost Protection: Proactive identification and segregation of all unallowable expenses (e.g., entertainment, political contributions, federal taxes) to prevent audit findings. Management bears the sole responsibility for this crucial step.

About the Birmingham Business Community

ChatGPT said:

Birmingham, Alabama’s business communityCar Dealership Accounting – Birmingham (AL) reflects a legacy industrial city that has successfully diversified into healthcare, finance, advanced manufacturing, and professional services. Historically anchored by steel and iron production tied to the region’s mineral resources, Birmingham evolved into the Southeast’s primary banking center and a major medical hub. The city’s economy today is strongly shaped by large corporate headquarters and institutions such as Regions Financial and Protective Life in financial services, alongside UAB Health System and University of Alabama at Birmingham, which together form one of the largest academic medical centers and research enterprises in the southern United States. This healthcare and life sciences concentration drives a substantial ecosystem of biotech firms, medical device companies, clinical research organizations, and healthcare IT providers.

Advanced manufacturing remains a cornerstone of the Birmingham economy, though now oriented toward automotive supply chains, metals fabrication, aerospace components, and industrial engineering rather than primary steelmaking. The broader metro area hosts major employers such as Mercedes-Benz U.S. International in nearby Tuscaloosa County and numerous Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers distributed across Jefferson and Shelby counties, reinforcing Birmingham’s role as a regional logistics and engineering center.
