[CAFR-Contacts-News] FW: YE Training Topics

[HAMILTON Robert W * DAS]

Hello CAFR Contacts,

Thank you to everyone who gave us feedback on our training survey.  It was very helpful.

We received 30 responses, and based on the results, we will be teaching on all of the options below except Investments.  The other four options were fairly equal in terms of top two preferences.

Our agenda is not yet finalized, but we're currently planning on allocating about two hours total to the four topics.  We'll also be presenting on some other topics, so this year's training will be longer than last year.

I hope to have the final agenda available soon.

Thanks again to everyone who responded.

Rob

Subject: [CAFR-Contacts-News] YE Training Topics

Hello CAFR Contacts,

We at SARS have been reviewing topics for our FY 2015 Year-End Training, and we've narrowed them down to five.  At this point, I'd like your help in determining their priority.  Please review the five topics below and rank them in terms of importance to you: 1 being your top priority and 5 being your lowest priority.


*         Investments - OAM 15.15.00

*         Expenses, Expenditures and Payables - OAM 15.40.00 PO, PR

*         Interagency/Interfund transactions, i.e. which type is most appropriate? - OAM 15.45.10

*         Capital outlay and non-capital assets. More of an overview - OAMs 15.55.00 thru 15.60.40

*         Capitalization of intangible assets (GASB 51). More in depth on this topic than bullet point above - OAM 15.60.40

Please feel free to add any comments, about the topics above, any that you would like to cover that are not in the list above, or things we should no longer do as part of our Year-End Training.  Our goal is to make our trainings as useful as possible, so any and all feedback is welcome.

Also, please note that this list isn't intended to be exhaustive of the topics we'll cover at the Year-End Training.  At this point we also intend to cover SEFA, statewide balance dates for Month 13 and any disclosure form changes, but other topics may also be covered. In addition, just because the topic is included above, does not mean that we will cover it in our training, i.e. we're not planning on covering all five topics above during the FY 2015 training.

If you would respond by close of business on Friday, February 27, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Rob
