Navigating TxDOT Financial Requirements
Firms pursuing TxDOT work may face financial requirements beyond ordinary accounting and tax compliance. Engineering and other professional service firms may need an acceptable indirect cost rate for administrative qualification through TxDOT’s PEPS program.
Depending on the firm’s circumstances, qualification may involve a CPA-audited indirect cost rate, self-certification, or another permitted process. Highway construction and maintenance contractors follow a separate prequalification process that may require financial statements and supporting information.
JConner helps firms prepare audit-ready records, evaluate direct and indirect costs, develop supporting schedules, and address applicable CPA audit and financial-reporting requirements.
Our goal is to help your firm submit accurate, defensible financial information and avoid preventable delays.
