Beers with Brent No. 2: Risk aversion over a double India pale ale

Fed Talks is a series of audio episodes featuring current issues in government contracting, offering thoughtful, bite-sized insights with rotating guests from inside and outside Baker Tilly.

On the second installment of our Fed Talks miniseries edition: Beers with Brent, we discuss government risk aversion.  Questions addressed include:

• Do we sense an atmosphere of risk aversion, and does that affect the relationship between the government and their contractors?
• What is the distinction between conservatism and risk aversion?
• What are some of the positive steps being taken by the government to show their trust in contractors, and what can contractors do to support?
