PDT Planning – Jessica went over the tentative sessions scheduled over two days. Day one would have six hours of Internal Control/Fraud and two hours about State Board of Internal Control (SBIC). Day two four hours of Government Accounting and four hours of Excel course. Jessica asked for another topic to be presented which would run concurrently with the Excel training course or just offer only the Excel training. Jessica named the excel training courses available for the four hour session. Members present concluded Pivot Tables excel course would be most likely applicable to participants of PDT. After much discussion as to what topic to have going while the excel training is going on, the members present decided to have the past Ethics speaker Mr. Bauer present. Several members discussed having the State Board of Internal Control (SBIC) be an hour and the second hour topic about the Obligation Recovery Center (ORC) or another consideration was to see if SBIC Members would do a panel discussion. Jessica stated at the next CEC meeting will have the Contracts ready for Board to approve along with expense information.
