2. POLICY:<\/em><\/div>\r\n
AMENDMENT TO ADVANCE NATIVE AMERICAN HOUSING PROGRAMS ADOPTED BY SENATE<\/div>\r\nLast Thursday the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs (SCIA) announced Senate passage of their amendment to reauthorize the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) to be included with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) as part of an 86-11 vote. Legislation to reauthorize NAHASDA has been introduced every Congress since 2013.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nFrom Chairman Brian Schatz (D-HI) \u201cNAHASDA is a critical housing law for American Indians, Native Hawaiians, and Alaska Natives, this amendment is an important win for Native communities to address their urgent housing needs. NAHASDA reauthorization has gone through regular order and been well-studied for years. I thank Vice Chairman Murkowski for her partnership in moving this priority forward through Committee and now the full Senate.\u201d\r\n

<\/p>\r\nSCIA Vice Chair Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) added \u201cI\u2019m pleased the Senate has overwhelmingly agreed to add our amendment to reauthorize and reform the Native American Housing and Self-Determination Act to this year\u2019s NDAA. In my home state of Alaska and in Native communities across the country, housing shortages and overcrowding are plaguing families, particularly as they try to overcome rising interest rates, rents, and construction costs. I thank my Senate colleagues for supporting this amendment, as well as the many tribal leaders and organizations who have long supported this important bipartisan legislation. We will all be working hard, together, to ensure this remains part of the final NDAA negotiated with the House of Representatives.\u201d\r\n

3. INSTITUTE: <\/em><\/div>\r\n
WEBINAR ON COST ALLOWABILITY AND ALLOCABILITY WITH NAFOA AND FORVIS TUESDAY AUGUST 29TH<\/div>\r\nJoin NAFOA and experts from FORVIS for a webinar<\/a> on Tuesday, August 29 from 2-3:00 pm Eastern Time on Cost Allowability and Allocability.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nUnallowable costs have long been a prime target for the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) Auditors. Proper identification and segregation of unallowable costs is a key component of an adequate accounting system and failure to properly segregate such costs may result in penalties. Contractors need to segregate unallowable costs and maintain proper documentation in order to withstand audit scrutiny.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nThis beginner-level panel will provide an overview of the FAR cost principles and their impact on cost accounting and pricing challenges.\r\n
