AGA Research Study On Governance, Risk
and Compliance—
AGA is conducting a study
on Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC). GRC is a management
improvement initiative that melds the three components,
Governance, Risk and Compliance, into one integrated approach.
We hope to highlight real world application of this approach,
what it means to people on a day to day basis, and to try to
define measures or benchmarks of GRC maturity in these real
world applications. All responses are anonymous. The survey
should take no more than 30 minutes to complete. Visit
our site to participate in this important study.
Questions? Contact Anna
Miller.

AGA
Releases National
Survey Results—The survey, Public Attitudes Toward
Government Accountability and Transparency 2010, measured
attitudes and opinions towards government financial management
and accountability to taxpayers. AGA first polled Americans on
the subject in 2008. The findings show an expectations gap
between what taxpayers expect and what they get. The public
overwhelmingly believes that government has the obligation to
report and explain how it generates and spends its money, but
that that it is failing to meet expectations in any area
included in the survey.
