Cost
Recovery Auditing with a High Payback
February 25, 2009
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 and increasingly
important topic to our audio conference schedule–Cost
Recovery Auditing.
Looking for ways to reduce budget outlays without reducing
funding for programs within your organization? This audio
conference will
explore several
areas that have resulted in large refunds for government
entities. Specifically, learn how to take advantage of tax
exemptions available to Federal, State and Local governments and
how auditors can perform reviews of construction contracts, as
well as credit card purchases, to identify these hidden
opportunities. Also to be discussed are CPI adjustments and
lease pass-through issues, both of which are timely in today’s
economy. If time permits, the speaker will also explore some of
the other topics covered in his new AGA two-day seminar on Cost
Recovery Auditing: utility expenses;
fuel taxes; fleet management; construction recoveries; lease
exposure; duplicate payment issues; and hidden taxes.
To share his
practical experiences in auditing and investigating cost
recovery issues is Anthony C. Gulotta, MBA, JD, CPA,
Private Consultant and Trainer, and former audit supervisor for
the U.S. Property and Fiscal Office in Pennsylvania where he
performed hundreds of performance and financial audits. Mr.
Gulotta’s office received several national auditing awards
during his tenure, including the U.S. Army Audit’s Auditing in
Excellence Award. He subsequently formed his own consulting firm
providing cost recovery audits for private firms and government
agencies. The focus of his firm’s work is identifying and
recouping overpayments to vendors and taxing authorities.
Please join us for
two hours of lively discussion about this important and timely
topic. In addition to the speaker’s commentary, there will be
approximately 20 minutes for Q & A so that the participants can
ask the speaker questions and share their own experiences.
