Greater Washington Society

of CPAs Conference

The Greater Washington Society of CPAs will host

its annual Government Contracting Conference Sept.

23–24 virtually this year, making the popular event

available to professionals both in industry and public

accounting rms nationally for the rst time.

According to organizers, contractors of all types

and sizes were looking ahead to continued growth

and opportunity entering 2020. However, although

managing unallowable costs and eliminating inef-

ciencies remain a focus, the pandemic has disrupted

the industry, leading many companies to focus more

on planning processes and budgeting/forecasting,

identifying problem areas and dealing with cash-ow

issues, among other concerns.

In light of these changes, this conference will

provide the latest insights on current trends and hot

topics from leaders of the contracting sector, with

the aim of helping attendees navigate through this

disruptive time and learn from the experiences and

practical guidance from their peers.

Registration fees for this event range up to $349.
