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 and significant audio conference addressing the president’s Executive Order dealing with improper payments.
On January 27, 2010, AGA held a national audio conference that addressed the then-new Executive Order, “Reducing Improper Payments and Eliminating Waste in Federal Programs.”
Improper payments were estimated to be $110 billion for fiscal year 2009. At the time, the director of the Office of Management and Budget stated, “These errors and mistakes are unacceptable. Taxpayers deserve to know their dollars are being spent wisely and effectively.”
Where do we stand one year later? As the president called for, is the “right recipient receiving the right payment for the right reason at the right time”?
Panelists will provide their candid perspectives on where we stand today. They will share what has worked well, the challenges, and practical solutions to winning the improper
payments battle. Given the state of the economy, the battle is very important to all taxpayers.
Speakers are Jeanette M. Franzel, CGFM, CPA, managing director, Financial Management and Assurance, U.S. Government Accountability Office; AGA Past National President Jeffrey C. Steinhoff, CGFM, CPA, executive director, KPMG Government Institute and a managing director at KPMG LLP, white paper author of “A Practical Look at Winning the Fight Against Improper Payments”; George D. Strudgeon, CPA, audit director, Human Services Management Specialty Team, Auditor of Public Accounts, Commonwealth of Virginia; and Daniel I. Werfel, controller, Office of Federal Financial Management, Office of Management and Budget, who is leading the administration’s fight against improper payments.
Please join us for two hours of lively discussion about this important and timely topic. In addition to the speakers’ commentary, about 20 minutes will be set aside for questions.
