Introduction to FAR - Federal Acquisition Regulations Overview, December 3-5, 2007
Introduction to FAR is intended for students interested in gaining a basic understanding of how to most effectively use the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Although the FAR is a very detailed and complex regulation, contracting parties in the federal Government marketplace must know the terms and conditions of the contracts they enter into. This course will improve the ability of students to select the right clauses, identify the correct procedures and improve their bargaining position during negotiations. In addition, students will learn how to keep up with changes to the FAR so they can always be sure that they have the latest and most relevant information. Rather than using a text book about the FAR, each student will receive a personal copy of the FAR which will be used as the course manual. This approach ensures that students will become familiar with the source document, which will enable them to immediately apply the knowledge they gain through this informative three-day session.
The course is taught by knowledgeable, highly skilled instructors who have a wealth of practical experience and know how to present complex material in an easily understandable manner. The key points in the class will be emphasized with practical exercises to reinforce the lessons learned and to provide the students with opportunities to apply the FAR to realistic scenarios. This approach ensures that every student will return to work with improved skills and the confidence to apply them to virtually any acquisition situation.

The contracting officer’s representative (COR/COTR) plays an essential role in the planning, awarding and management of the government contract. They are the “eyes and ears” of the contracting officer in ensuring that technical requirements are being met and that the contractor is adhering to the terms and scope of the contract. Their technical expertise and project management skills are critical in designing performance-based acquisitions that successfully respond to risk, motivate excellent contractor performance, manage cost and schedule constraints and achieve contract goals and objectives.
In the Critical Roles and Responsibilities of the Government COR/COTR course, you’ll learn the critical roles, responsibilities and best practices for being an effective COR/COTR. The course covers the COR/COTR’s role throughout the government contracting process—from defining initial requirements to effective post-award performance management. You’ll learn the importance of early risk assessment and how risk mitigation and control influences the pre and post award management of the contract. You’ll also learn the many areas of the acquisition process where COR/COTR participation is essential in helping the contracting officer protect the interests of the government during contract execution. For industry attendees, you will gain keen insight into your government customer and how your company can help support the important role of the COR/COTR.
You will develop skills through various practical exercises and will receive a course manual containing many useful references that can be used long after you have completed the class.

GAO’s Principles of Federal Appropriations Law Workshop, December 17-19, 2007
In 1982, the GAO released its first edition of Principles of Federal Appropriations Law. It was a collection of the body of law governing the expenditure of federal funds. In 1991, the current four set volume was released.
Today, agency program managers, general counsel, contracts administrators and financial officers are all faced with significant challenges in meeting organization needs within current budgets. What are the rules? How are they applied in practice? What are the typical mistakes made that result in wasted or lost funds? How can an agency protect its budget? How can an agency manager maximize their allocation?
The rules governing federal appropriations are complex, extensive and fill four binders. This course, taught by leading experts in government contract law, will provide the student with an overview of the rules, how they are applied, and most importantly, how to maximize funds with budget limits AND within the rules.
Learn precisely how the Federal government’s budget and spending system works – and how to avoid impasses at each phase in the process, from initial planning through ultimate disbursement.
