21st Century Financial Managers: A New Mix of
Skills and Education Levels
AN AGA TRAINING AUDIO CONFERENCE
December 10, 2008
2
CPE Hours Available!
|
AGA, in
conjunction with the National Association of State Auditors,
Comptrollers and Treasurers (NASACT) and the Association of
Local Government Auditors (ALGA) is pleased to announce a new
audio conference that addresses the question: Is there a talent
crisis looming in government financial management?
Do government
agencies now require or will they require a financial work force
with a new set and mix of competencies to work effectively in
the 21st century? Is there increased demand for
people with more analytical and decision-support capabilities?
Learn about the results of an AGA-sponsored research study and
what colleges are doing to prepare students for the work force
of the future. Hear about the ongoing challenges of recruitment
and retention at all levels of government and how inadequate
work force planning can negatively impact an operation. Learn
what the drivers are of these work force changes.
To share their
practical and educational experiences is John J. Radford,
CGFM, CIA, CFE, Controller, State of Oregon, Member of the
AGA National Executive Committee; Kenneth Smith, Ph.D.,
Professor, Arkinson Graduate of Management, Willamette
University; and John D. Webster, CGFM, CPA, Former Chief
Financial Officer, Library of Congress, Chair of the AGA Audit
Committee.
Please join us
for two hours of lively discussion about this important and
timely topic. In addition to the speakers’ commentary, there
will be approximately 20 minutes for Q & A so that the
participants can ask the speaker questions and share their own
experiences.
