[CAFR-Contacts-News] Two NASACT Webinars Upcoming

[HAMILTON Robert W * DAS]

Hello CAFR Contacts,

Now that the CAFR has been issued, we've switched gears to signing up for a couple of NASACT Webinars.  These webinars are being hosted by SARS, so there's no cost to the agencies, and 2 hours of CPE is available.  They are:


1.     "The Bots Are Coming! The Bots Are Coming! An Update..." on Wednesday, January 16 from 11:00 - 12:50 at the ODVA Auditorium.  This will cover "intelligent automation," or using technologies like Robotic Process Automation or Artificial Intelligence to significantly reduce the time and energy required for routine tasks, thereby freeing up the 'human' staff to do more strategic and customer-service activities.



2.     "GASB's Preliminary Views on Financial Reporting Model Improvements and Soon-to-be-released Implementation Guides" on Thursday, January 24 from 11:00 - 12:50 at the ODVA Auditorium.  This will include a deep-dive by the GASB staff into the new Financial Reporting Model proposal as states finalize their responses to the GASB's preliminary views.  Topics to be covered include: (1) Recognition standards for governmental funds, including alternate views; (2) Presentation of governmental and proprietary fund financial statements; and (3) Budgetary comparison schedule placement and content.  In addition, the GASB staff will highlight the most significant questions that are being proposed in the Implementation Guide Update - 2019 and Fiduciary Activities Implementation Guide. The review of these guides will include key new questions being proposed in the update and classification and financial reporting questions and answers associated with the implementation of Statement 84, Fiduciary Activities.


I do apologize for the late notice, but during the final weeks of CAFR season, everything else tends to take a back seat.  I'll work to get these trainings up on iLearn as soon as I can, but I wanted to get everyone notified.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Rob
