AGA Research Program

The AGA Research Program creates research projects of value to governments, industry and the AGA membership. Two major types of research are conducted under the program: sponsored and cooperative, with cooperative tending to have a short (90-day) timeframe, and sponsored being of a longer, continuing nature.

AGA would like to hear from you! Do you know of any area in federal, state, or local government accounting, auditing, or financial management where you think there is a real need for up-to-date, relevant research? We have identified certain areas, such as: Business Process Outsourcing; Certifying Officers Laws and Regulations; Debt Accounting and Management; Erroneous Payments; Grants Management and Accounting; Laws and Regulations Relating to Budget Execution; Recovery Auditing; and Working Capital Funds.

Please contact Anna Miller, AGA Technical Manager, if you have a project idea or would like more information about any of the AGA research projects at amiller@agacgfm.org.

NEW! AGA 2008 Survey

AGA is sponsoring an online member survey to learn their thoughts about current and future government financial management issues. AGA Corporate Partner Grant Thornton LLP is administering the survey. All responses are anonymous, and the results will be presented at the 2008 PDC in Atlanta.

To encourage responses to the survey, AGA will give the chapter with the highest response rate a cash award of $300; second highest will receive $200 and third will receive $100. The award will be based on the number of responses received per chapter divided by the total registered membership of a chapter. Please be sure to enter your chapter's name when you fill out the survey.

Thanks for your help in promoting the survey. If you have any questions about AGA's research initiatives, please contact AGA's Director of Research Anna Miller.
