FAR Audits – Charleston (SC)

For many Charleston and South Carolina 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 Charleston and South Carolina. 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.

Charleston’s economy is anchored by a strong mix of advanced manufacturing, logistics, aerospace, automotive, technology, healthcare, and tourism, supported by steady population growth and sustained corporate investment. The region has become particularly attractive to companies seeking access to global markets, a skilled workforce, and a business-friendly regulatory environment.

Global trade and logistics play a central role in Charleston’s commercial landscape, driven by the Port of Charleston, one of the fastest-growing ports on the East Coast. The port’s expansion and deepwater capabilities have strengthened Charleston’s position as a key gateway for international shipping, fueling demand for warehousing, distribution, customs services, and transportation infrastructure throughout the Lowcountry. This logistics strength has directly supported the growth of manufacturing and export-oriented industries across the region.
