It can be difficult to understand the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) as they relate to federal government contracting. FAR are a complex set of standards that govern the purchasing process for the U.S. government. FAR covers concepts requiring contractors to promote an organizational culture encouraging ethical conduct, including having codes of ethics and whistle-blower hotlines. In addition, FAR contains cost provisions that govern how to charge the government for overhead costs. This free webinar looks at some of the basic requirements of FAR and examines the application of those provisions.
