DESCRIPTION

 

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.

CPE Field:  Auditing/Accounting;  NYS License Number:  000329
