FAR Audits – Indianapolis (IN)

For many Indianapolis and Indiana 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 Indianapolis and Indiana. 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 Indianapolis Business Community

ChatGPT said:

City of Indianapolis LogoThe Indianapolis business community is shaped by a mix of established institutions, global employers, and steadily expanding innovation corridors that give the city both economic depth and long-term stability. Downtown Indianapolis serves as the commercial and professional core, anchored by Monument Circle and the central business district, where corporate offices, financial institutions, law firms, and consulting practices are clustered near key civic and cultural assets. The skyline is defined by landmarks such as Salesforce Tower, which reflects the city’s growing presence in technology, cloud services, and enterprise software.

Life sciences and healthcare are central to the local economy, led by major employers like Eli Lilly and Company on the city’s near-east side and the expansive Indiana University Health system, which supports a broad network of hospitals, research facilities, and outpatient centers across the metro area. These organizations drive demand for accounting, advisory, IT, cybersecurity, and compliance services while attracting specialized talent to the region. The presence of academic and research institutions, including Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, strengthens the pipeline for healthcare, engineering, and business professionals.
