Deltek Government Contracting Expert to Speak on Earned Value Management for the Federal Contractor at the 18th PMI-CPM Fall Conference.

Deltek:

Rich Wilkinson, Vice President of Government Contracting at
  Deltek to Speak on the Demand for, the Benefits of, and Terminology
                   Behind a Comprehensive EVM System

What:   Earned Value Management (EVM) is the new and mandatory
        approach for federal contract performance reporting, risk
        management and cost control. By October of 2006, most new
        cost-type Government contracts in excess of 20 million dollars
        will require implementation of an EVM system for performance
        reporting and risk management. Many accounting departments are
        ill prepared to meet this requirement and even those that are
        gearing up to do so will find it difficult to communicate with
        the program managers that will use the system. This seminar is
        intended to give accounting personnel with little or no
        exposure to EVM an understanding of the concepts behind the
        discipline, the terminology it uses and the demands for data
        that an EVM system may place on the accounting system.
        Participants will also get a comprehensive look at the
        changing regulatory landscape, including thresholds by agency
        and the new solicitation clauses.

Who:    Wilkinson has nearly 30 years of experience working with
        government program managers, private-sector companies and
        government contracting solutions providers. As a Navy
        Contracting Officer, Rich worked extensively with the early
        DOD earned value systems both as a recipient of reports and as
        a member of CS2 system validation teams. As the former
        compliance officer for Atlantic Research Corporation and CSC,
        Rich led teams responsible for corporate and project cost
        reporting, cost accounting standards compliance, and liaison
        and support for DCAA and DCMA audits and reviews. Since
        joining Deltek, Rich has helped more than 100 companies
        select, install and deploy their accounting systems. He is
        also a regular lecturer on government contracts at George
        Mason University.
