AGA, 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 audio conference on the impact of cooperative audit resolution.
During this audio conference, you will learn about a proven process to prevent and resolve audit and oversight findings. AGA recently released the Cooperative Audit Resolution and Oversight Initiative (CAROI) Guide. The guide explains how to use the CAROI process to identify the underlying cause of findings and to chart a course for program improvement.
Learn how Pennsylvania used the process in the mid-1990s to resolve more than 100 audit findings, including some that were already in litigation. CAROI focuses on improving communication and on developing a sense of trust among government officials, rather than depending on an impersonal letter-writing process. It can be implemented during any phase of the grants cycle and can be initiated by officials at any level of government. It includes government officials from many disciplines, including program officials, financial managers, legal staff and other officials who are knowledgeable about a specific program. This session will review the CAROI process and explain how the tools provided in AGA’s guide can be used to improve program performance and accountability. The guide is available online at http://www.agacgfm.org/intergovernmental/downloads/CAROI.pdf
To share their expertise in applying CAROI concepts are John Childs, MPA, Chief Financial Officer, Ohio Department of Education; Charles Laster, Deputy Director of School Support and Technology Programs, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, U.S. Department of Education; Rich Rasa, CGFM, Director of State and Local Advisory and Assistance, Office of Inspector General, U.S. Education Department; and Helena Sims, Director of Intergovernmental Relations for the AGA.
Please 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.
