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 topic to our audio conference schedule—performance audit efficiency.
In the “new normal,” government performance auditors need to “walk the walk” in operating audit functions that are as efficient as possible, issuing audit reports and inspiring improvement with the lowest amount of resources necessary. Audit offices can more efficiently use their limited resources to produce timely and high-quality performance audit reports. You'll learn the latest tools and techniques, including how to create a framework for audit efficiency in your organization through the use of technology and telecommuting. Innovations in performance auditing are helping auditors find efficiencies in unexpected places, from audit planning and fieldwork through the reporting process.
From leveraging staff resources to actively writing reports, and from condensing background to amplifying audit results, you'll be presented with a collection of tools to enhance audit planning, fieldwork and reporting to boost your office's performance audit yield. We'll explore answers to questions including: How early can fieldwork be planned? How soon can you start drafting reports? How many reviews and drafts should occur in the reporting process? How can management's lack of data be converted into a powerful audit finding? How can report titles and tables of contents be used to convey the message of an audit report? How can government obtain action and change as the result of audit reports?
If your organization is interested in "pumping up" the audit function within its existing resources, you won't want to miss this exciting audio conference. By popular demand, this session will revisit and expand on tools discussed in a 2007 AGA audio conference and this fall’s NSAA webinar.
To share his expertise in performance auditing is Drummond Kahn, CGFM, CIA, CGAP, director of audit services for Portland, OR.
Please join us for two hours of lively discussion about this important and timely topic. In addition to the speaker’s commentary, about 20 minutes will be set aside for Q & A.
