“Significant Changes Affecting the DoD Acquisition and Procurement Landscape”

San Diego Chapter meeting on May 23

Please join us and our guest panelists for a lively discussion of the ongoing changes to the A&D acquisition environment. We will be covering the National Defense Authorization Act of 2017 and expected components of the NDAA 2018. Other topics include the Government’s changing position on commercial items, how your company may be affected by third party audits (YOU will be paying for them) and how DCAA’s 2017 report to Congress may be changing the audit processes. We will also be discussing what DCMA is doing to ensure compliance with cyber security requirements.

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING:
• Learn DCMA’s approach to ensuring that contractors are meeting their cyber security requirements.
• Discover why you will be paying the tab if you have to obtain a third party audit, including accounting system audits.

Please join us on Tuesday, May 23 (networking: 5:30-6:15pm, meeting: 6:15-7:45pm PST), when Ronald J. Youngs, Assistant Vice President, National Security Policy, Aerospace Industries Association and Curt Parkinson, Software Engineer Manager – Cyber Compliance, DCMA, San Diego will share what is going on inside the Beltway.
