Ethics
in the Workplace
May 13, 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 significant audio conference addressing
ethical challenges and dilemmas in today’s work environment. We
hope to make this program more interactive with your input.
This Ethics audio conference will be somewhat different from
past programs. The speaker will discuss ethics in the workplace
and will explain the thinking and understanding elements of
ethical behavior. Real examples will be used as well as
describing the differences between being ethical and legal.
Other topics will include organizational tone with examples from
the top of organizations, risk taking, the need for written
policies, the requirement for uniform enforcement, and other
requirements of the Federal code of ethics.
During the presentation, the speaker will answer your questions,
submitted in advance of the program,
and will provide guidance in various ethical situations. To
accomplish this in an audio conference environment, participants
are asked to submit written questions to Raymond Harris, CGFM at
rharris@agacgfm.org
by May 4
to give the speaker sufficient time to incorporate them into his
presentation. This should make it a lively session which you
should find helpful.
To discuss the ethics challenge is
Leon Young,
MA, adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Maryland,
University College.
Leon is a motivational speaker for Leadership and Ethics
throughout the United States. He is a recognized expert on
Ethics in organizations in both the public and private sectors.
Leon is a sought after keynote speaker for conferences and
professional development workshops. He is known for his ability
to present serious subjects with humor and to involve his
audiences in the subject through interaction. Leon imparts both
knowledge and understanding to his audience.
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 at
the end of the program so that the participants can ask the
speaker questions and share their own experiences during the
show.
