Identity Theft – What is Being Done to Prevent It?
AN AGA TRAINING AUDIO CONFERENCE
December 7, 2005
2
CPE Hours Available!
|
AGA, in conjunction with the National
Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers
(NASACT), and the National Association of Local Government
Auditors (N.A.L.G.A.), is pleased to announce a new audio
conference addressing identity theft.
Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the
country. It can affect anyone, at any age, and any ethnic or
economic group. This crime has many facets and can be
perpetrated in a variety of ways. There is one common
denominator in all cases of identity theft, however; access to
personal identifying information. Once a person has become a
victim of identity theft, it can be very traumatic and can last
for years. This audio conference will discuss how you can
protect yourself from becoming a victim of identity theft and
what you can do if you do become a victim.
To discuss how the government is pursuing
identity theft is Kathy Buller, Chief Counsel to the Inspector
General, U.S. Social Security Administration; Naomi Lefkovitz,
Attorney, Federal Trade Commission; and Alice Robinson-Bond,
Deputy Attorney General, State of Ohio.
Please join us for two hours of lively
discussion about this important and timely topic. In addition to
the speakers' presentations, there will be 20 minutes for Q&A so
that the participants can ask the speakers questions and share
their own experiences.

Approximately one week prior to the audio
conference, the site coordinator will be emailed or faxed
call-in instructions for the day of the audio conference. In
the conference, a website link will be provided where CPE
certificates, speaker biographies, presentations, and a sign in
sheet can be downloaded. Program evaluations can be completed
online following the audio conference.
AGA suggests you provide a print out of
the biographies and presentations to the participants so they
can follow along with the audio conference at their own pace.
Please note the only technical requirement
for participation in the call is a telephone with speaker
capability. However, the power point presentations can be
projected to a screen if you have that capability.
Also, completed CPE certificates must
be mailed to the AGA. Do not mail them to NASBA.
Thank you!
