Impact of the Stimulus Plan on Internal Controls--Sudden Impact or Long-Term Process?
The Financial Management Advisory Council, The State Auditor's Office and AGA-Olympia are sponsoring an audio conference in the OB2 Auditorium on January 13, 2010 from 11:00am-12:50pm.
This will be provided FREE to all participants.
CPE: 2 Hours
AGA, in conjunction with the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers and the Association of Local Government Auditors is pleased to announce a new and increasingly important topic to our audio conference schedule—understanding the role of internal controls in managing stimulus funds.
How bad will it be when the tidal way of stimulus money hits the internal controls designed and implemented by management? Has your organization felt the effect yet?
And what can auditors and management do at this stage to reinforce them and prepare for the onslaught? But more importantly, should this be a sudden shock or should it be the natural outcome of efforts over the past 20 years?
This audio conference not only provides practical tips on how to take the temperature of where your controls are today, but also offers practical suggestions on how to ensure that you are ready for any future emergency.
To share their practical experiences in accounting and auditing and views towards the importance of internal controls during these strange economic times are Arthur A. Hayes, JD, MBA, CGFM, CPA, CFE, CIA, Director, Division of State Audit, Office of the Comptroller of the Treasury, State of Tennessee; and Thomas J. Sadowski, CGFM, CPA, former Director of Accounting, State of Missouri, as well as AGA Past National President and two-time Past National Treasurer. Both presenters are regular contributors to AGA’s Journal of Government Financial Management.
Please plan to join us for two hours of lively discussion about this important and timely topic. In addition to the speakers’ commentary, there will be approximately 20 minutes for Q & A so that the participants can ask the speaker questions and share their own experiences.
