Knowing Your Cost Principles and Cost Accounting Standards… COST ACCOUNTING STANDARD 410
(Editor’s Note. We continue our on-going series of exploring relevant cost principles and cost accounting standards. The CAS 410 requirements are normally considered to be sound rules covering allocation of G&A costs so they apply informally to even non-CAS covered contractors. The requirements offer sufficient flexibility to help contractors achieve their pricing objectives. We have used numerous sources but have relied most heavily on Mathew Bender’s Accounting for Government Contracts Cost Accounting Standards.)
CAS 410 provides criteria for allocating general and administrative (G&A) expenses to final cost objectives (FCOs) and guidelines for the types of costs that should be included in the G&A expense pool.
