FAR Audits – Norfolk (VA)
For many Norfolk and Virginia 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 Norfolk and Virginia. 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 Norfolk Business Community
ChatGPT said:
The business community in Norfolk is shaped by its strategic coastal location and its central role within the Hampton Roads regional economy, creating a commercial environment closely tied to defense, maritime trade, logistics, healthcare, and professional services. Norfolk’s economy benefits from a rare combination of global port access, a substantial federal presence, and a diversified base of private-sector employers, making it one of the most internationally connected business hubs on the Mid-Atlantic coast.
Maritime commerce and logistics are foundational to Norfolk’s business landscape, anchored by the Port of Virginia, which operates one of the deepest and most technologically advanced port systems on the East Coast. This port infrastructure supports a broad network of shipping companies, freight forwarders, customs brokers, manufacturers, and distribution firms that serve domestic and international markets. Proximity to rail, interstate highways, and marine terminals has made Norfolk a critical node for supply chain operations across the eastern United States.
