Federal Appropriations Law for Acquisition Professionals (ACQI7030)

Description

Acquisition professionals play a critical role in helping achieve an agency's mission through planning, awarding, and administering contracts. Beyond the FAR, clarity and understanding of appropriations law are particularly important to acquisition professionals who sign their names to obligate funds. It’s also germane to program and project managers who plan and budget for acquisitions that span multiple fiscal years. Using cases drawn from GAO's Principles of Federal Appropriations Law (the "Red Book"), the instructor will provide essential information regarding the general principles (and key exceptions) that need to be considered when making obligation decisions during the acquisition life cycle. While the basics for federal appropriations law are the same for all government personnel, this course provides acquisition professionals a base of focused knowledge they need to understand and apply those principles most directly aligned with federal acquisition.
