ACEC/MA Holds AASHTO Audit Guide Briefing

On November 20, 2009, ACEC/MA held a briefing on the New Uniform Audit and Accounting Guide recently released by AASHTO (American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials) which the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) plans to incorporate into future regulations. It dramatically changes how engineering firms are compensated and audited. The new Audit Guide affects every A/E firm with DOT clients

Panelists at the briefing included:

• Julie Garber, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc
• Elizabeth Pellegrini, Director of Audit Operations, MassDOT
• William H. Roark, Technical Financial Specialist, Federal Highway Administration
• Richard Hirschen, Gray, Gray & Gray
• Jim DeLeo, Gray, Gray & Gray, moderator 

ACEC/MA thanks Gray, Gray & Gray for hosting this briefing and thanks Jacobs Engineering Group for sponsoring Julie Garber’s travel.
