The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has issued a final rule that raises the monetary thresholds for the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) program. CAS is a set of rules that large companies must follow when they have certain types of contracts with the federal government. These rules ensure that companies account for costs consistently so the government isn’t overcharged.

Who it affects
