TYPES OF CONTRACTS
A Federal Publications Seminar
that provides an accelerated, comprehensive two day course on the practical,
legal, accounting and management systems implications in the use of various
contract types. This seminar is designed for both new and experienced Contracts
Professionals. It explains different contract types, their uses and provides an
update of the new, innovative types of contracts in use. The course includes an
analysis of the risks inherent in contracting and the role of risk management in
