AGA, in conjunction with the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers and the Association of Local Government Auditors invites you to hear how using auditing analytics adds value to your organization.
The use of technology—particularly audit analytics—is an internal audit industry best practice. Find out how government departments of all types can add significant value to the organization by using audit analytics to increase productivity and mitigate risks that lead to error, fraud and waste. Learn to:
--Develop an audit analytics strategy to support the risk assessment process.
--Align audit analytics with strategic direction of your department
--Assign responsibility for key roles
--Standardize audit-relevant data into a controlled repository
--Identify key factors to ensure successful implementation of these analytic approaches
This audio conference features a case study. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has a crucial role to play in today's economy through their commitment to sustaining home ownership, creating housing opportunities and supporting community development for those in need. The agency's staff is challenged to oversee numerous programs nationwide and to provide assurance to the Office of the Inspector General in the integrity, efficiency and effectiveness of HUD operations.
To share their practical experiences in information technology audits and the use of audit analytics are Steve Biskie, CPA, CITP, CISA, director of services product management, ACL Services, Ltd. who has more than15 years of experience in information technology audit for public accounting (as a former Deloitte manager), private industry and with specialized risk management consulting firms; and Cliff Cole, computer audit specialist, Office of Inspector General, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development..
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.
