Ethical
Challenges in Today's Government Environment
An AGA TRAINING AUDIO CONFERENCE
May 9, 2007
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 significant audio conference addressing
ethical challenges and dilemmas in today’s work environment.
Each of
us has ethical standards, but what do we do when we are faced
with an organizational culture which may conflict with our
personal ethics? What attributes constitute sound ethical
decision making?
This
audio conference will explore how the power and scope of today’s
advancing technology can leverage ethical decisions and other
ethical challenges which may impact your career and
organization. Topics that will be discussed include ethical risk
taking, working within your organization, handling ethical
dilemmas and managing your workplace ethics, as well as provide
you with practical approaches for these workplace situations.
Further,
the speakers will cover such areas as right versus wrong,
morals, integrity, honesty, fairness, enforcement, reporting
unethical behavior, conflicts of interest and what a reasonable
person would do under certain circumstances.
To
discuss the ethics challenge are two industry experts:
Alan Goodman, Master Trainer for the Institute for Global
Ethics, and Leon Young, Associate Professor at the University of
Maryland University College.
Both speakers are
renowned ethics lecturers, trainers and discussion leaders for
government agencies at all levels, government and private
associations and firms.
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 speakers questions and share their own
experiences.
