The New York
Capital Chapter of the AGA, the Office of
the State Comptroller, and the AGA
National Office, in conjunction with the National Association
of State Auditors, Comptrollers and
Treasurers (NASACT), and the Association
of Local Government Auditors (ALGA), is
pleased to announce a new and increasingly
important topic to our audio conference
schedule - using internal controls to
improve financial and program operations.
Good internal
controls can be used for far more than
just making sure we have the right numbers
in the financial statements. Good
controls can improve accountability,
prevent problems and most importantly,
improve the delivery of services to the
public. In this audio conference,
find out how:
- One State is using controls to improve
its grant management process to provide
better oversight and accountability for
grants.
- How an organization builds and sustains
a strong internal control environment that
does not fall into complacency.
- How one Federal agency is integrating
its internal control program with its
enterprise risk management program and
business modernization activity.
Also find out about
a unique approach to applying human
behavior concepts to internal control
applications. The primary focus of
this part will be applying the four
conceptual models:
- COSO Integrated Framework of Internal
Control;
- Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs;
- Herzberg's Hygiene and Motivator
Factors; and
- The Situational Leadership Model.
To share their
expertise in internal controls are Janet
Hayes, MBA, CPM, CICA, Office of the State
Auditor, State of North Carolina; Michael
L. Piazza, MBA, CICA, Director of Program
Development and Training, the Institute
for Internal Controls; and Martha J.
Stearns, Central Site Director, U.S.
Defense Finance and Accounting Service.
The session
will also include approximately 20 minutes
for Q & A.
Remember to
register early. Training room
capacity is limited.
