Services Interior | GSA Schedule Audit Support
GSA has recently increased the frequency in which it performs both its mandatory Contractor Assistance Visits and OIG pre-award audits.
Oftentimes these events are triggered by suspected violations of GSA’s price reductions clause (GSAR 552.238-75) or when a “whistleblower” reports suspected misconduct. Unfortunately, in most cases, the Contractor subject to the investigation is unaware that they have violated the regulations set forth in their GSA Schedule Contract.
Our GSA Schedule audit support engagements will help GSA Schedule contractors prepare for and respond to GSA Schedule investigations. Utilizing Attorney-client privilege, our audit engagements are intended to mitigate risk and facilitate the OIG review process, while adhering to your sensitive contracting needs and timelines.

- Attorney–client privilege that protects and keeps confidential communications undisclosed.
- Expertise to address audit trends in government contracting where high risk exists.
