Implications of
Sarbanes-Oxley for the Future of the Auditing Profession
An AGA TRAINING AUDIO CONFERENCE
March 1, 2006
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 “SOX”.
In response to Sarbanes-Oxley private
sector requirements, the Federal government has revised OMB
Circular A-123. Some fear this trickle-down effect may turn into
a flood that will reach State and Local governments. This audio
conference will cover the latest on the status of audit and
internal control efforts for State and Local governments and the
possible effects of additional requirements. Kinney Poynter,
Executive Director, National Association of State Auditors,
Comptrollers and Treasurers, and Nancy A. Valley, CGFM, Partner
and National Industry Leader, KPMG LLP, will discuss these
issues and the results of a joint AGA/NASACT research project
on this topic.
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.
