RELATED EXPERIENCE

Director Government Contracts (career chronology – see last page)
HDR, Inc. Omaha, NE
Ranking number 15 of the top 40 Architecture/Engineering program management firms, and duly noted as the premier design-build health care firm, HDR is now growing and positioning itself for a greater portion of the Federal market. In preparation to meet HDR's Federal growth goals, I am directing the development of the company's first Cost Accounting Disclosure Statement, developing new accounting and estimating policies and procedures that will assure compliance with FAR and FAR Cost Principles, and am serving as the DCAA, ACO & COTR liaison for our offices throughout the U.S. Additionally, I support 30 + offices in the preparation & negotiation of cost proposals and provide training in the administration of FFP, CPFF, LOE & T&M & IDIQ contract types.

Director of Internal Audit
URS Corporation – San Francisco, CA
Engineering News Record number one rated engineering firm; URS is improving infrastructures, providing environmental services for both public and private sector clients and is helping the military to restore natural resources on a global basis. With non-compliance and post-award issues looming and more on the way, URS was experiencing difficulty convincing the public sector that it could continue to be a responsible bidder. Mandated by the board of directors, I established an internal audit department and managed a financial staff of seven. I wore two hats serving both as director of internal audit and advisor to legal staff on contract compliance, proposal cost & pricing, FAR 31.205 Cost Principles and Truth in Negotiations Act.
Accomplishments:
* Appointed by the CEO to review and approve all cost estimating and pricing of contracts exceeding $500K and to serve as liaison for the DCAA & state & local governments.
* Developed the cost impact study proving that $40 million in contract costs spanning 5 years were unrecorded; an anomaly that nearly caused the demise of the company. At the president's direction, I then launched the task force that billed $6 million on cost-reimbursable contracts and developed best practices internal controls to circumvent further under estimating/bidding.
* Corrected and re-filed the cost accounting disclosure statement & implemented CAS.
* Conducted year-end financial audits for the four regional offices along with outside auditors.
* Managed staff of seven, coordinated financial reporting & compliance & reported to BOD.

* Prevented payment of $700K claimed by the Navy as over billed costs by challenging DCAA's misinterpretation of CAS 416 and saved associated $100K in actuarial fees.
* Established contract database proving no CAS coverage during the period in question.
* Re-engineered and migrated Artemis EVMS system and improved C/SCS reporting.
* Actively participated in contract pricing and negotiations and compliance issues. Re-trained accountants & project managers & implemented CAS 403 & 405 along with FAR 31.205.

Internal Audit Manager
BEI Technologies, Inc. - San Francisco, CA.
The Precision Systems & Space Division designs and manufactures pointing and tracking mechanisms for spacecraft, military aircraft and for military vehicle turret and gun position control. Rapid corporate expansion during Desert Storm dictated a need for stronger internal controls and better financial reporting. I was charged with establishing the first Internal Audit Department and later, to head up cost proposal efforts with oversight of procurement systems.
Accomplishments:
* I developed the policies and procedures manuals for corporate office and six divisions. Tested accounting records for all operating divisions for compliance with company policies and procedures and reviewed all cost & pricing and internal controls relative to FAR.
* Defended and won post-award claims of non-compliance with CAS 401 & 405.
* Performed due diligence on competing company Systron Donner that supplies inertial guidance systems to NASA and the DoD. We acquired the company.
