Establishing and maintaining effective internal controls are key factors for managing risk while improving operational efficiency and effectiveness. Many government agencies are making progress on improving controls, but are hampered by limited resources and the proliferation of requirements.
This audio conference focuses on how some agencies are meeting this challenge. Participants will gain insight into the methodologies, solutions and tools available to enable agencies to more effectively and efficiently assess entity-wide risks, evaluate internal controls, improve processes, comply with government requirements, and achieve agency program goals and business objectives.
To share their expert knowledge and practical experience in internal controls are Kathy Hill, director, Risk Management and Compliance, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Rory Souther, chief, Office of Resource Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
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.

Don't Forget to Renew Your Membership!

It's membership renewal time!! Thank you so much for being a member of our chapter.
As we approach the 2011-2012 AGA membership year, the Association asks you to take part in our effort to go "green" by renewing your membership online. If you haven't already done so, why not renew now? Your membership dues were due March 31, 2011. Paying now eliminates the need for us to send you reminder notices--saving paper and trees. Renewing online is as easy as logging on to the Members Only section of the website at www.agacgfm.org. Your AGA ID number is the same as your membership ID and your password is your first initial immediately followed by your last name (no spaces), unless you have changed it.
We look forward to you renewing your membership and participating in some of our events during the year. Your membership helps keep us strong and is the backbone of this excellent association. Thank you.
