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.
