FAR Audits – St. Louis (MO)
For many St. Louis and Missouri 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.

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 St. Louis Business Community
ChatGPT said:
The business community in St. Louis is one of the most established and institutionally grounded economies in the Midwest, shaped by its historic role as a transportation and manufacturing hub and reinforced by a growing innovation and life sciences sector. The city’s central location along the Mississippi River, symbolized by the Gateway Arch, has long supported logistics, distribution, and trade, and that infrastructure continues to underpin manufacturing, agribusiness, and industrial operations across the region. Areas surrounding Downtown St. Louis and the riverfront remain closely tied to transportation, warehousing, and industrial services, while redevelopment has expanded office, residential, and mixed-use commercial activity.
Manufacturing and industrial enterprises remain a defining feature of the St. Louis economy, with strong concentrations in aerospace, defense, chemicals, food and beverage production, and advanced materials. Large employers and a deep base of middle-market manufacturers are spread throughout the metro area, from North County industrial corridors to facilities near Lambert International Airport. This industrial footprint has created sustained demand for engineering expertise, regulatory compliance, and specialized professional services, particularly accounting, audit, tax, and advisory support for complex, highly regulated operations.
