Indirect Cost Rates & Incurred Costs
Know What It Costs To Run Your Business
Indirect rates provide visibility into what it actually costs to run your business and directly affect pricing, profitability, cost recovery, and compliance. Instatera helps ensure the costs, pools, and allocation methods behind those rates are appropriate, supportable, and defensible.
Our support includes:
-
Indirect rate structure development and review
-
Overhead, G&A, fringe, and other indirect rate calculations
-
Cost pool and allocation base review
-
Evaluation of pool homogeneity and allocation methodology
-
Direct and indirect cost classification
-
Identification and segregation of unallowable costs
-
Indirect cost rate submission preparation
Indirect cost engagements are typically structured on an hourly, not-to-exceed basis, providing flexibility to address issues identified during the work while giving your organization visibility into the expected cost of the engagement.
Ongoing advisory support is also available on an hourly or retainer basis for continued assistance with rates, cost allowability, and indirect cost matters.
What Your Incurred Costs Say About Your Business
An Incurred Cost Submission is more than a collection of schedules. It reflects how your business operated throughout the year, where costs were incurred, how resources were allocated, how indirect rates performed, and whether costs were treated consistently and appropriately.
Instatera helps review that story before it is presented to the Government, providing preparation support and technical expertise around indirect costs, allowability, allocation, and rate development.
Our Incurred Cost Support Includes:
-
Incurred Cost Submission preparation support and technical advisory
-
Direct and indirect cost classification and consistency review
-
Unallowable cost testing - formal transaction testing using statistical and non-statistical sampling methodologies to evaluate cost allowability and identify unallowable costs prior to submission
-
Supporting schedule and reconciliation review
-
DCAA audit support and final indirect rate negotiation
Incurred Cost Submission support is typically provided on an hourly basis, allowing Instatera to provide the level of preparation support, review, transaction testing, and technical advisory your organization needs.
Support can continue through Government audit and final rate negotiation as needed.
