About this Workshop
 

A solid understanding of the payment rules, regulations, and “tricks of the trade” can help A/R teams speed government payment, improve their cash flow, and simplify collections procedures. This workshop combines instruction on the rules and regulations surrounding prompt payment with field-tested strategies used by top contractors to improve their balance sheets. Our expert instructor, a practitioner in the field, also touches on the sometimes overlooked factors that contribute to payment delays -- agency funding and appropriations, poorly negotiated payment terms, and more -- and shares techniques to combat them.
