A NASACT Training Audio Conference

Improving Statewide Reporting & Performance Data Analysis: Success Stories

Wednesday, October 10, 2012
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

The Chief Financial Office (CFO) will host an audio conference sponsored by NASACT, in conjunction with the Association of Government Accountants and the Association of Local Government Auditors.
Organizations at every level of government are under increasing pressure to improve the speed, accuracy and value of financial reports and data. But manual processes, legacy "siloed" systems, and limited resources make it increasingly difficult for states to improve financial reporting, optimize performance data and efficiently deliver services.  Fortunately, there are solutions available to help organizations automate and streamline financial data consolidation and reporting.
You will get to hear real examples and demonstrations from organizations that are already deploying solutions and processes to improve financial reporting and streamline information delivery.

The session will also include insights gathered from the recent NASACT and Oracle report, "Shifting Gears:  Manual to Automatic-Statewide Financial Reporting and Performance Data Analysis."  This report, presented at the 2012 NASACT Annual Conference in Seattle, Washington, reveals challenges and opportunities where state governments should focus to improve financial reporting and optimize performance data. You will also gain insights to help your organization:


*         Accelerate reporting cycles - Reduce closing cycles by days, deliver more timely results to internal and external stakeholders

*         Improve transparency and compliance - Help reduce the cost of compliance and support disclosure requirements, such as sustainability reporting

*         Perform strategic analysis - Spend less time on processing and more time on value-added analysis

*         Report with confidence - Provide a single version of the truth to support financial management and statutory reporting, as well as CAFR preparation
