FAR Audits – Wichita (KS)
For many Wichita and Kansas 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 Wichita is widely recognized as one of the most aviation-focused economies in the United States, shaped by decades of aerospace manufacturing, engineering innovation, and advanced industrial development. Often referred to as the “Air Capital of the World,” Wichita serves as a major hub for aircraft production, parts manufacturing, and aviation services, with companies such as Textron Aviation, Spirit AeroSystems, and a network of specialized suppliers anchoring the local economy. This aerospace presence has created a strong ecosystem of engineering firms, machine shops, logistics providers, and professional service organizations that support both commercial aviation and defense-related manufacturing.
Beyond aerospace, Wichita’s business landscape reflects a diverse mix of manufacturing, energy services, healthcare, and agriculture-related enterprises. The region benefits from its central geographic location, which supports distribution, transportation, and regional trade throughout the Midwest. Advanced manufacturing sectors such as metal fabrication, industrial equipment, and plastics production contribute significantly to employment and economic stability, while a growing entrepreneurial community has expanded opportunities in technology, fintech, and business services. Universities and technical schools in the area help sustain a skilled workforce, particularly in engineering, accounting, and applied sciences.
