1. 310-912Contractors—Federal Government310 Receivables

   This Subtopic tells federal government contractors how to recognize, present, and disclose receivables arising from government contracts. Its core rules: unbilled costs and fees under cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts are receivables or contract assets (not advances or inventory); progress payments are applied first against unbilled receivables (or accounted for as financing if the government obtains only a secured interest); and a terminated contract converts contract inventory into a termination claim receivable classified as a current asset.
