But it is also one of the most unforgiving financial environments in which to do business. In this world, success is not determined by how well you perform the work. It is determined by something far less visible and far more important:
Can your systems survive scrutiny?
THIS IS WHERE MOST CONTRACTORS FAIL
In Govcon, compliance is not a back-office function. It is not something you “figure out later.”
It is your license to operate.
A single breakdown in your accounting system can trigger:
- Delayed or withheld payments
- Disallowances that erase your profit
- Intensified audits and scrutiny
- Loss of contract eligibility
- Long-term business damage
THIS BOOK CHANGES THAT
Created by GovCon expert Linda Rawson, GovCon Accounting is not another accounting book. It is a practical, real-world blueprint for building a business that can:
- withstand audits
- defend every dollar
- and operate with confidence in a high-stakes environment
INSIDE, YOU WILL LEARN:
- Build an Audit-Ready System: Create an accounting structure designed to withstand DCAA scrutiny from day one.
- Align with FAR & CAS Requirements: Understand the regulations and translate them into daily operational processes.
- Track Costs Correctly (Without Guesswork): Establish a clean separation between direct, indirect, and unallowable costs.
- Control Labor & Timekeeping: Implement systems that hold up under the most heavily audited area of GovCon.
- Develop Defensible Cost Proposals: Price your contracts using real data, not assumptions, so your margins are protected.
- Eliminate Hidden Financial Risk: Identify the issues that quietly undermine profitability and fix them early.
- Manage Complex Contract Structures: Handle service contracts, construction projects, CLIN tracking, and cost allocation with confidence.
- Build Documentation That Protects You: Create records that prove your compliance, not just suggest it.
In GovCon, the pressure doesn’t come all at once. It builds quietly:
- Payments take 30, 60, 90 days
- Costs accumulate before revenue catches up
- Auditors ask questions you must answer immediately
- Small errors compound into major exposure
Most contractors focus on winning work. Very few focus on building systems that let them keep it profitable.
This book gives you that advantage. Because when your accounting system is strong:
- decisions become clearer
- pricing becomes smarter
- audits become manageable
- and your business becomes scalable
Linda Rawson is a seasoned government contractor, data architect, and systems expert. She specializes in helping entrepreneurs move from uncertainty to control by building the foundations required to win and sustain contracts. Her approach is rooted in real-world experience, not theory.
You do not need to guess your way through GovCon. You do not need to hope your system will hold up when it’s tested. You need a structure that works before it matters most.
Build it correctly. Understand it deeply. Protect your business. Compete, survive, and grow.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
