5/16 WEBINAR TO EXAMINE LESSONS LEARNED FROM COMPTROLLER AUDITS

Our team will host another free webinar Weds., May 16 from noon to 1 p.m. This month's session will focus on lessons learned from audits by the Office of the New York State Comptroller.

Ideal for accountants working at school districts and other local governments, the live session will cover topics ranging from internal control considerations when faced with staffing reductions to best practices.

“This gathering offers a good opportunity to learn the areas which are the current trend for audits performed by the Office of the New York State Comptroller and tips on how to avoid the same findings,” said Marvin and Company Managing Director Jim Amell, CPA, who will lead the webinar with Heather Lewis, CPA, an audit manager with the firm.

“For school district business officials and treasurers, as well as other government agencies required to make staffing cutbacks, we will also discuss the areas that become vulnerable to misappropriation due to these reductions and the risks/benefits that they and their board should consider,” added Amell.

Continuing professional education (CPE) credits are available.

PC-based attendees are required to have Windows® 7, Vista, XP or a 2003 Server, while Macintosh®-based attendees need Mac OS X 10.5 or newer.
