FAR Audits – Los Angeles (CA)
For many Los Angeles and California 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.

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.

The business community in Los Angeles is one of the most diverse and globally connected economic ecosystems in the United States, defined by its scale, industry breadth, and international reach. Long known as the world’s center for entertainment and media, Los Angeles continues to anchor major film, television, music, and digital content companies while also supporting a vast network of production studios, talent agencies, marketing firms, and intellectual property specialists.

International trade and logistics form another critical pillar of the Los Angeles economy. The Port of Los Angeles, working in tandem with the Port of Long Beach, handles a significant share of U.S. containerized imports, supporting a dense network of manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and supply chain service providers throughout Southern California. This trade activity is closely linked to the region’s warehousing, transportation, and customs infrastructure, while Los Angeles International Airport provides essential global connectivity for executives, goods, and international business operations.
