2011

Spring 2011: Federal Fiscal Sustainability
The federal government’s debt and long-term liabilities is mounting at an alarming rate. We will take a look at how the financial community is supporting decision making in addressing this major issue. We’re interested in articles that address financial reporting standards for fiscal sustainability, the report of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, and the roles and actions of auditors, budget officials, financial managers and others in reducing improper payments and providing financial data and analysis in support of decision-making as well as calling attention to this issue. Writing Deadline: December 1, 2010

Summer 2011: State of the States
The 50 states have been hard hit by the recession. For many states, the full impact of the economic slowdown is just now being realized. From declining tax bases to underfunded employee health care and pension plans to unprecedented demand for services, we'll look at the fiscal condition of the states and how government finance professionals are confronting these challenges. Never before has the phrase "doing more with less" been so true. Writing Deadline: March 1, 2011

Fall 2011: International Governmental Financial Management
In response to the global economic crises, many countries are attempting to improve their public financial management laws and regulations. First and foremost is the desire to include all controlled entities (not just budgetary entities) in the oversight by the legislative bodies. Added emphasis is also being placed on separating cash management from budgetary control by establishing treasurer single accounts. Further, many of the developing countries are reviewing their cash reporting procedures and moving toward accrual accounting by adopting International Public Sector Accounting Standards. Last, but not least, is the effort to implement better internal and external audit procedures for financial, performance and compliance audits. It is hoped that these efforts will reduce the level of corruption in all countries. Writing Deadline: June 1, 2011

Winter 2011: Enterprise Risk Management
In an era of failures to identify mission risks and the realization of vast consequences in our society, what is being done to address enterprise risks in government organizations?  We are looking for success stories in managing risks and articles that highlight approaches that manage risk in the context of the mission of the entire enterprise rather than focusing on stovepipe compliance programs. Writing Deadline: September 1, 2011
