Failure to Pay Subcontractors Results in Fraud Indictment
The Justice Department announced yesterday the indictment of Chester Neal of Fresno, California on two counts of mail fraud. Two counts? That’s only a tiny fraction of the charges he is potentially facing. There is a lot more to this case than the Justice Department has so far acknowledged. And, the court documents remain sealed and unavailable to the public.

Contractors Beware: The 2018 NDAA Ushers In New Changes Affecting IP Rights | Government Contracts & Investigations Blog
The 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA” or “Act”) includes changes that could make the Department of Defense (“DoD”) a more effective and knowledgeable purchaser of Intellectual Property (“IP”) and promote more flexible IP acquisition strategies. These same changes also could encourage Contracting Officers to insist on broader IP rights and delivery requirements. While it has always been important for contractors to protect their IP (click here for our list of “Top 10 Ways to Lose Rights in Your IP”), with the passage of the 2018 NDAA, avoiding the loss of valuable IP rights could require even more sophistication and vigilance.

Are your proposal reviews derailing the win? APMP SPAC 2018 Presentation | Lisa Pafe | Lohfeld
Date/time: March 22, 2018 at 2:40 pm
Location: Cobb Energy Performance Arts Center (CEPAC), AtlantaProposal best practices dictate that we hold color team reviews — Blue, Pink, Red, and Gold — practically the entire rainbow. Yet, often our proposal reviews prevent us from successfully reaching the finish line for three primary reasons. First, typical review teams are bloated with unprepared, un-briefed, unqualified, and/or uninterested reviewers. Second, our proposal reviews place incorrect focus on the likes and dislikes of the reviewers rather than on how customer proposal evaluators will score and rank proposals. Third, we rarely give reviewers enough time to perform their assignments effectively. This presentation will present and solve these problems, with ample audience polling and discussion.

DCAA’s Financial Liaison Advisory Services
DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency) employs a cadre of individuals that act as Financial Liaison Advisors (FLAs). These individuals are generally auditors with a significant amount of audit experience and are assigned to support DoD procurement and contract administration offices to assist them in achieving the objectives of sound contracting by providing onsite accounting and financial advice to contracting officers, negotiators, and buyers. While contract auditors are independent under GAGAS (Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards), FLAs are not. They sit side by side with Government procurement and advocate on behalf of the Government. Perhaps you’ve met some when sitting at the negotiating table.
