CPE Hours Available!
AGA, in conjunction
with the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers
and Treasurers and the Association of Local Government Auditors
is pleased to announce a new and increasingly important topic to
our audio conference schedule—understanding the role of internal
controls in managing stimulus funds.
How bad will it be
when the tidal wave of stimulus money hits the internal controls
designed and implemented by management? Has your organization
felt the effect yet?
And what can
auditors and management do at this stage to reinforce them and
prepare for the onslaught? But more importantly, should this be
a sudden shock or should it be the natural outcome of efforts
over the past 20 years?
This audio
conference not only provides practical tips on how to take the
temperature of where your controls are today, but also offers
practical suggestions on how to ensure that you are ready for
any future emergency.
To share their
practical experiences in accounting and auditing and views
towards the importance of internal controls during these strange
economic times are Arthur
A.
Hayes, JD, MBA, CGFM, CPA, CFE, CIA,
Director, Division of State Audit,
Office of the Comptroller of the Treasury, State of Tennessee;
and Thomas J. Sadowski, CGFM, CPA, former Director of
Accounting, State of Missouri, as well as AGA Past National
President and two-time Past National Treasurer. Both presenters
are regular contributors to AGA’s Journal of Government
Financial Management.
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.
