Here is an overview of the webinar:

NASACT, in conjunction with the Association of Government Accountants and the Association of Local Government Auditors, is pleased to announce the latest in its series of training events addressing timely issues in government auditing and financial management.

Establishing policies and procedures to manage risk has always been part of the public sector landscape.  A number of professional associations and standard-setting bodies have addressed how public sector organizations can establish policies and internal controls to minimize the risk of financial inaccuracy and fraud. The U.S. Government Accountability Office recently issued Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government: 2014 Revision, also known as the Green Book. GAO adopted the key concepts from the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) Internal Control - Integrated Framework and adapted them for a government environment.  These standards provide the overall framework for designing, implementing and operating an effective internal control system.

This webinar will provide an overview of the national governance, risk and compliance environment and review how two organizations, the commonwealth of Virginia and the Pennsylvania Department of the Treasury, have implemented effective risk management processes and internal controls.

Join Bob Sabo, executive director, Public Sector Solutions, Oracle; Keith Johnson, director, State and Local Government, Oracle; David Von Moll, state comptroller, Virginia; and Jeffery Bohr, applications administrator, information technology, Pennsylvania Department of Treasury, for this informative two-hour training session.

Participants will be given an opportunity to ask questions and share experiences during the last 25 minutes of the webinar.
