IDC red flags
Why auditors can’t fix IDC numbers
... And much more!

THIRTY-FIVE YEARS LATER AND TRIBES ARE STILL FIGHTING for full recovery of indirect costs (IDC) that were promised in the spirit of Self-Determination. For years, tribes have gone to court to fight indirect cost shortfalls, but this takes time and money. It’s time to take a more direct approach, one that will ensure fair reimbursement of all your allowable overhead costs. Join us and explore the strategies and techniques that have proven successful when negotiating IDC agreements with the National Business Center (NBC).

This year, Indian Country’s Indirect Cost Summit will include an in-depth analysis of all the latest issues that tribes face as they prepare and negotiate IDC agreements. A review of recent court decisions will demonstrate the importance of timely appeals and audited financials to back up claims. You’ll also examine the implications if BIA and IHS receive funding to pay under-funded IDC from past years. Our faculty will provide coverage on PARS and its implications for your organization as well as the motive behind the federal government’s requirement that you follow this guideline. All this and much more will prime you to develop a winning strategy as you prepare your next IDC proposal.

Your facilitators for this session — Richard Phelps and John Friel — have successfully recovered millions of dollars in IDC for tribal governments. They’ll share their experiences with NBC negotiators and help you understand the trends and underlying rationale for NBC decisions. Gain valuable information as they explain their approach and help you apply it to your tribal programs and contracts.
