AGA’s Partnership for
Intergovernmental Management and Accountability
(Partnership) is inviting volunteers to participate in
two projects designed to open up the lines of
communication among governments. A description of each
project is attached. The projects deal with:
-
Cost Allocation -
This work group
will identify how the process for negotiating and
implementing OMB Circular A-87 can be made more
efficient and effective; and
-
Leveraging Single Audits -
This work group
will determine how all levels of government can work
smarter to reduce the workload associated with
implementing the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996
(SAA) and the Improper Payments Act of 2002 (IPIA),
while improving the usefulness of both acts to
improve program integrity and reduce improper
payments.
The Partnership, which
was established by AGA last fall, is comprised of
high-ranking officials from the federal, state and local
levels of government and higher education. For more

To volunteer for one or
both of the projects, please complete the
volunteer reply form and email it to Helena Sims
at hsims@agacgfm.org.
The deadline for volunteering is March 19, 2008. The
co-chairmen of the Partnership will select up to 12
members for each work group.
