FAR Audits – Denver (CO)
For many Denver and Colorado 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 Denver and Colorado. 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 Denver Business Community
The Denver business community is defined by a diverse and fast-growing economy that blends established industries with a strong culture of innovation, entrepreneurship, and quality of life. Downtown Denver serves as a central hub for corporate headquarters, financial institutions, and professional services firms, while nearby districts such as LoDo, RiNo, and the Central Business District support a mix of technology companies, creative firms, and growing startups. Union Station has become both a transportation anchor and a focal point for commercial development, reinforcing downtown as a destination for business activity and talent.
Technology and innovation play a prominent role in Denver’s economic landscape, with clusters of software, SaaS, fintech, and data analytics companies spread across downtown, Boulder, and the Denver Tech Center. The Tech Center, located along the I-25 corridor in Greenwood Village and Centennial, is home to many mid-sized and large technology, telecommunications, and professional services firms. This innovation ecosystem is supported by institutions such as the University of Colorado, Colorado State University, and the Colorado School of Mines, which contribute research, engineering talent, and commercialization efforts to the regional economy.
