[CAFR-Contacts-News] Two NASACT Webinars Upcoming

Wed Jan 16 07:33:25 PST 2019

Hello CAFR Contacts,

For those of you attending today's NASACT webinar titled "The Bots Are Coming! The Bots Are Coming! ... The Bots Are Here!", the materials are not yet available on NASACT's website.  However, I would recommend checking again before the webinar starts at 11.  The website is: https://www.nasact.org/webinars

For those of you wanting CPE, I've attached a pdf that documents how NASACT CPE is awarded.  There will be verification codes that will come up during the webinar that will need to be tracked.  After the webinar, each individual that wants CPE will need to log into NASACT's website and enter the codes.  If you haven't created an account with NASACT, you will need to in order to get CPE.

We will have a sign in sheet for everyone that is attending, which we will use for marking attendance in iLearn.

As a reminder, this training is this Wednesday, from 11:00 - 12:50 at the ODVA Auditorium, located at 700 Summer Street NE.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

Thanks,

Rob

Hello CAFR Contacts,

The NASACT Webinar "The Bots Are Coming! The Bots Are Coming! An Update..." won't be on iLearn until after the training, but please still feel free to attend if you're interested.  CPE will be provided through NASACT so not having it up on iLean won't impact any CPE offerings.  Further, additional information has been made available about the course, including modifying its name to "The Bots Are Coming! The Bots Are Coming! ... The Bots Are Here!"  I've attached the flyer that contains additional detail.

As a reminder, this training is this Wednesday, from 11:00 - 12:50 at the ODVA Auditorium, located at 700 Summer Street NE.

Please contact me with any questions.

Thank you,

Rob

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
