DESCRIPTION
AGA, in conjunction with the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers and the Association of Local Government Auditors, is pleased to announce a new and increasingly important topic to our audio conference schedule—ethical dilemmas in the work environment.
This audio conference will be somewhat different from past ethics programs. The speaker will discuss ethics in the workplace and will explain the thinking and understanding elements of ethical behavior. Real examples will be used as well as describing the differences between being ethical and legal. Other topics will include organizational tone with examples from the top of organizations, risk taking, the need for written policies, the requirement for uniform enforcement, and other requirements of the Federal code of ethics.
During the presentation, the speaker will answer your questions, submitted in advance of the program, and will provide guidance in various ethical situations. To accomplish this in an audio conference environment, participants are asked to submit written questions to Raymond Harris, CGFM at rharris@agacgfm.org by May 4 to give the speaker sufficient time to incorporate them into his presentation. This should make it a lively session which you should find helpful.
