"More Money More Claims: Contractor Disputes with the Federal Government"
|
|
Mike Zisa, Peckar & Abramson, P.C.
|
|
The U.S. government is the largest consumer of goods and services in the world and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has increased contracting opportunities but with more contracting opportunities comes the opportunity for more claims. Whether you are a seasoned government contractor or new to public work, a keen understanding of the claims process with the U.S. government and how it differs from the claims process on private projects is essential. During this program, construction and surety attorney Mike Zisa from Peckar & Abramson will discuss the claims process and provide practical insights on how to successfully navigate the process.

"The New Lease Accounting Standard: What it Means for Contractor’s Financial Statements "
|
|
Martin C. McCarthy, CPA, CCIFP, McCarthy & Company, PC
Matthew J. Boland, CPA, CCIFP, McCarthy & Company, PC |
|
The change to the lease accounting standard (ASC 842) was effective for non-public, calendar year-end companies on January 1, 2022. Under the new standard, companies must record a right of use (ROU) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for most leasing arrangements. As a result, the new standard will not only impact a construction company’s financial statements but could also affect debt covenants and other calculations. Marty and Matt will discuss key considerations of the new standard and how it affects contractor’s financial statements
