Many statutes and the FAR address in detail requirements for proper and accurate pricing, cost accounting, certifications of compliance, and other ethical and business conduct. Failing to comply with any one of these many laws or regulations may subject contractors and subcontractors alike to substantial liability under the False Claims Act and other fraud-related statutes.
