Business System Compliance & Reviews

Overview

Government contractors may be required to establish and maintain business systems that meet specific contractual, regulatory, and Government review requirements. As organizations grow, pursue more complex contracts, or become subject to increased oversight, weaknesses in internal controls, policies and procedures, system configuration, documentation, or business processes can create compliance concerns and affect the outcome of DCAA and DCMA audits and reviews. Redstone GCI assists government contractors with assessing business system requirements, evaluating readiness, strengthening internal controls, preparing for Government review, addressing identified deficiencies, and maintaining compliant systems over time. Our subject matter experts bring experience from both Government and industry roles and provide practical support tailored to the applicable business system, contractual requirements, and stage of the government contract lifecycle.
