2022 – FAR DEPARTMENT SUPPLEMENT – FAR CHAPTER 99 CAS
CAS OVERVIEW
Key Application and Purpose:
CAS provides consistency in definition and application of cost accounting practices
CAS is current public law and requires compliance with established criteria and guidance
CAS is divided into 19 standards (CAS 401 through CAS 420)
Adherence to applicable CAS standards applies throughout the entire life of a CAS-covered contract
Why is CAS needed? To protect U.S. Government’s price and cost participation interests

Exemptions to CAS exist (e.g., contract awarded to small businesses; FFP contract for commercial item(s);
FFP awarded on basis of adequate price competition without submission of cost or pricing data)

CHANGES TO COST ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
FAR 30.302-1:
Definition – A cost accounting practice is any disclosed or established accounting method or technique
which is used for:
Allocation of cost to cost objectives,
Assignment of cost to cost accounting periods, or
Measurement of costs.
• Changes to cost accounting must be disclosed to the USG
• USG may – and typically does - request an assessment of the related cost impact of the proposed accounting
change
• Cost impacts only required under CAS covered awards
• USG provides COs wide latitude for settling cost impacts
• USG will not pay increased cost, in the aggregate, as a result of a change in cost accounting practice
• Applies to FFP and Cost-Type contracts

accounting practice
