In Memoriam: AGA Past National President Bernard B. Lynn
AGA regrets to report that Bernard B. Lynn, an At-Large member of AGA and National President of what was then the Federal Government Accountants Association during 1969-1970, has passed away. Lynn was 89 and most recently resided in Daytona Beach, FL. During his year as National President, Lynn was forced to make the unusual move of relocating what was then the annual symposium (now known as the PDC) from Oklahoma City to Miami when it became clear that renovations to the site in Oklahoma City would not be completed in time to accommodate the Association's event. Past National President and former Executive Director Nathan Cutler, CGFM, said Lynn was a longtime federal employee. The two men worked together at the U.S. Army Audit Agency, where Lynn was "highly regarded in an executive capacity," Cutler said, adding that Lynn was active in the New York Chapter. Lynn worked in the Army Audit Agency's New York region. "He was really one of the earlier pioneers for getting accountants' government work recognized for the CPA," said Cutler, who was President in 1968-1969. Past National President Sidney Baurmash said Lynn was a "leader in the advancement of internal auditing in government while he was with the Army Audit Agency." Baurmash, who served in 1971-1972, said Lynn later worked at the Defense Contract Audit Agency. Cutler, Lynn and Baurmash were among the AGA leaders who helped open the Association's doors to state and local members. "It made sense since we were involved in state issues as federal auditors," Baurmash said.
