The
Future of Government Auditing—Which
Direction(s) Are We Heading?
April 8, 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—the future of auditing.
Auditing has
evolved over the years with many different types of audits being
developed— financial, performance, follow-up, managerial,
operational, etc. Some believe auditors have become too cozy
with the auditees and have sacrificed their independence for
cooperation and expediency, while others view auditing from a
“gotcha” mentality whereby it is the role of the auditor to find
as many things wrong as necessary and catch the bad guys.
Listen as a
group of experienced, audit executives from each level of
government address specific questions regarding the direction
auditing is taking and what the audit industry must do to
maintain its credibility. Learn the differences—and
similarities—in the perspectives these experts bring to the
table.
To share
their practical experiences in auditing and views towards the
future of auditing are Jeanette M. Franzel, CGFM, CPA,
Director of Financial Management and Assurance, U.S. Government
Accountability Office; David R. Hancox, CGFM, CIA, Audit
Director, Office of the State Comptroller, State of New York;
and Drummond Kahn, CGFM, CIA, Director of Audit Services,
City of Portland, Oregon.
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.
