GovCon Accounting Policies and Procedures

One of the fundamental requirements of an accounting system is documented policies and procedures, which are used in establishing and maintaining an organization’s internal controls, accounting, and reporting. The policies and procedures should capture how things are done, serving as an important tool for clarifying roles, responsibilities, and ensuring accurate financial data is used for decision making.
