Government Contracts Compliance Update: Do Your Internal Controls Address Recent Changes and Key Risks?

Government Contracts attorneys David Black and Eric Crusius will join NCMA Boston for a webinar titled "Government Contracts Compliance Update: Do Your Internal Controls Address Recent Changes and Key Risks?"
