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
audio conference addressing management strategies to comply with
the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act reporting
requirements.
This
program will focus on the next steps for ensuring transparency,
accountability and control over Recovery Act funds. As funds
begin to be obligated and disbursed under the Recovery Act, the
focus is turning to implementing risk management plans, and
developing processes, systems and controls to comply with
reporting requirements.
Our
panelists will discuss risk management plans and approaches at
the federal agency level, the new Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) reporting requirements, efforts under way at the
state and local levels to prepare for such accountability and
transparency, and other issues raised during the course on AGA’s
ongoing research project related to Recovery Act implementation.
To discuss
the issues and challenges are
Marcia Paull,
Chief Financial Officer, Office of Justice Programs, U.S.
Department of Justice;
John Radford, CGFM, CIA, CFE,
Controller, State of Oregon;
Daniel I. Werfel,
Deputy Controller, Office of Federal Financial Management, U.S.
Office of Management and Budget; and
David M. Zavada,
CPA, Partner, Kearney and Company, P.C.
Please
join us for two hours of lively discussion about this important
and timely topic. In addition to the speakers’ commentary, about
20 minutes is set aside for Q & A at the end of the program.
