 IIA President William G. Bishop III, CIA, Dies at 63
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

The Institute of Internal Auditors Chairman Bob McDonald has announced the death of IIA President William G. Bishop   III, CIA, who apparently suffered a heart attack while jogging near his home in Longwood, FLA, on March 7.

“This is a huge shock,” McDonald said in a statement on The IIA’s website, “and I am sure that we all are immensely saddened by his sudden passing.”

The IIA headquarters has been flooded with messages from around the world, honoring the difference Bishop made in the personal and professional lives of so many, McDonald said.

“This is a time to grieve for Bill, but it also is a moment to celebrate his life and the great memories we all have of a man who was more than the president of The IIA: Bill was a great friend to us all.”

The Bishop family has requested that donations be made in lieu of flowers to The IIA Research Foundation or the South Seminole Christian Sharing Center. See The IIA home page at www.theiaa.org for more information. The AGA membership and staff extend condolences to our friends at the Institute of Internal Auditors.

 Save Time—Renew Your Membership Online
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

By now, you should have received your annual renewal packages for the 2004–2005 year. If you have already renewed your membership, we thank you and look forward to serving you in the year to come.

If not, please note that your renewal package includes both membership and CGFM certification renewals where applicable. The cost of CGFM Program operations has necessitated a modest $10 increase in the CGFM renewal fee. (See the item below on CGFM renewal requirements.)

The renewal form has a new look this year that includes a receipt at the bottom. This year’s renewal package also includes a Member Information Sheet (demographic and contact information). Please be sure to fill this out and return to AGA. It is so very important that we have your updated contact and demographic information. This helps the National Office and your chapter to stay in touch with you. It is also very important for AGA to capture your demographic information (including age, ethnicity, employer, education). We promise that this information will only be used to customize AGA services to your needs.

By far the easiest (and quickest) way to renew is online through the password-protected Members Only section of the AGA website. How to Renew Online: Access the AGA website at www.agacgfm.org. Click on ‘Members Only’ on the left palette. Login using your membership ID number and password (your first initial followed by your last name— no spaces), click on the gray ‘billing’ button above your name (if the gray billing button doesn’t appear, it means that your membership is paid in full). All you have to do is input your credit card information and hit ‘Submit.’ The transaction will automatically process via our secure server and the renewal information will be automatically updated in AGA’s in-house membership system. While you are logged into the Members Only section, be sure to take a look at your contact information and make any updates as necessary (especially your e-mail address).

Remember, 2004–2005 renewal payments are due by March 31, 2004. Thank you for your continued support!

 04/07/04  “Human Resource Challenges in a Changing Accounting World”

AGA, in conjunction with NASACT, is pleased to announce the next audio conference scheduled for 2 - 3:50 p.m. EST, Wednesday, April 7, 2004. Please join J. Graham Joscelyne of Urbach Kahn & Werlin Advisers Inc., former auditor general of the World Bank, for an enlightening presentation on "Human Resource Challenges in a Changing Accounting World." While most of the recent accounting changes are technical in nature, the greater challenge to each accountability professional is more deeply seated, for it touches on our values. We must examine the way we think and behave, and how we make decisions. If these human challenges are not understood and overcome, the foundation for other changes is unstable. Cost is $249 per phone line (toll-free to caller, unlimited attendance), if you register on or before Friday, April 2, and $299 afterward. To register visit: www.agacgfm.org/education/audioconferences/HR0404.aspx

Technological
advances in government financial management have changed financial reporting. New regulations have made those changes mandatory. Are you prepared to face these challenges?
