Reston, Virginia – November 11, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Eubanks Accounting & Advisory will present a session on managing indirect cost pools at the JAMIS Summit 2026, scheduled for November 17, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, Florida. Jennifer Eubanks, Founder and Managing Partner of the firm, and Karen Dickert will lead the session, titled “Step-by-Step Guidance on Keeping Non-Governmental/Commercial Efforts Out of Allowable Indirect Cost Pools While Maintaining Proper Direct Cost Base Proportions,” as part of the GovCon Trusted Advisors track.

The session addresses a challenge familiar to contractors that serve both federal and commercial markets. When a government contractor also sells to commercial customers, the costs tied to that commercial work must be kept out of the allowable indirect cost pools used for government contracts. When this separation is handled incorrectly, contractors can face audit findings and distorted indirect rates.

Designed for finance, accounting, contracts and compliance professionals at government contractors, the session provides practical, step-by-step guidance on separating non-governmental and commercial activities from allowable indirect cost pools while keeping direct cost bases equitable, supportable and aligned with FAR and CAS requirements. Through real-world examples and methodologies, attendees will learn about structuring cost objectives, allocating shared resources, documenting accounting practices and avoiding common pitfalls that can trigger audit findings or distort indirect rates. The session is not eligible for CPE credit.

“Contractors that serve both government and commercial customers often struggle to draw a clear, defensible line between the two in their cost structures,” said Jennifer Eubanks, Founder and Managing Partner of Eubanks Accounting & Advisory. “This session walks through practical methods for keeping commercial efforts out of allowable indirect cost pools while keeping direct cost bases proportionate and well documented, so contractors understand the mechanics behind their indirect rates.”

The content is directed toward small and mid-sized government contractors, particularly manufacturers and IT services companies, along with the finance and compliance teams that support them.
