How To Navigate This Site - Categories, Subcategories, and Pages

There are navigation panels on the left. In addition you can search on a particular topic in the search bar on the upper right of any page.


The site is organized by Categories, Sub-Categories, and pages. A Category, is the highest level grouping. It may or may not contain pages. A subcategory is the next level down, and will contain pages, as this is the lowest level. In navigating this site, start with the Category, look at the pages within the Category, and also look to see if there are subcategories.


The idea is this. You start with a broad topic (Category), then look at pages and subcategories with that main Category, and filter through, until you find the topic that interest you.


For instance, if you go to the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) navigation pane on the left, you will see that you can select a particular standard. If you select CAS 401 - Consistency in Estimating, Accumulating, and Reporting Costs, what comes up is the Category main page. If you scroll to the bottom, and select the Category: "CAS 401: Consistency in Estimating, Accumulating, and Reporting Costs, you will "Pages" within that category. In this case, you can see the preambles to CAS 401. Larger categories have subcategories, smaller ones, have pages.
