Join Aronson Consultant Jennifer Aubel and Partner Hope Lane for an insider’s perspective into the important compliance topic of GSA pre-award audits.
Every year, GSA’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) selects around 50 GSA Schedule contracts for the ultimate compliance test –a pre-award audit. The stakes in an OIG audit are high, so proactive contractors should consider when a pre-award audit is likely to occur, what comprises the audit process, and what auditors look for as a critical component of their compliance program planning.
