In the past two years, the federal government has passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and enacted several changes to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The government committed more than $150 billion in spending for infrastructure projects across the United States to stimulate job growth, but with that spending comes additional performance risks and contract compliance requirements. This DVD will help you get answers to pressing questions, such as:

• What increased risks do contractors face taking on ARRA-funded projects
• What additional FAR- and ARRA-specific compliance requirements are contractors subject to?
• What are the realities and risks facing contractors today on government construction projects?
• What exposure do contractors face regarding allegations of fraud or violations of the Truth in Negotiations Act?
