Author Description

Volume 2The latest version with an effective date of June 15, 2018. Anyone that has worked in contracts knows how difficult it is to search the Federal Acquisition Regulation to find that one bit of information that will make or break a deal. A contracts specialist could pull out a huge binder and flip thru pages endlessly. Not only is it time consuming, but it is exhausting lugging around that huge binder. With this release, we got it down to 4 Volumes. Tried to keep subjects together in each one. Other companies publish the FAR in a single book (over 1,900 pages). Their book is around 6 inches by 9 inches and sells for over $100! Many people need glasses to read and don't like books with small print. That's especially true of complex technical subjects like acquisition regulations. We print the hard copy books a full 8 1⁄2 inches by 11 inches, with large text. The complete FAR is also available as an eBook. Volume 1 Parts 1 to 21 Volume 2 Parts 22 to 41 Volume 3 Parts 42 to 52.227-23 Volume 4 Parts 52.228-1 to end You could print a 1,900-page book over the network, punch holes and put it in a humongous binder, but it's not cost effective. A contracting officer that's paid $75 an hour has to do this using a printer shared with 100 other people - and it's out of paper, and the toner is low. It's much easier to order a copy at Amazon.com These are some other finance-related books we publish: Financial Audit Manual Federal Information System Controls Audit Manual (FISCAM) DoD Audit Manual 7000.14 GAO Government Auditing Standards (Yellow Book) GAO Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government (Green Book) GAO Internal Control Management and Evaluation Tool GAO Principles of Federal Appropriations Law Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS)
