Division); registration information is included at the bottom of this

The War Against Fraud and Abuse: Are We Winning?
Mar. 3, 2010
2 CPE Hours Available!
AGA, in conjunction with the National Association of State Auditors,
Comptrollers and Treasurers and the Association of Local Government
Auditors is pleased to announce a new and increasingly important topic
to our audio conference schedule-the answer to who is winning the war on
fraud, waste and abuse. 
Is it reasonable to expect auditors to find fraud? Since fraud is
characterized by trickery, deceit and deception, and because auditors
are very visible and have limited tools at their disposal, maybe it's
just too easy for the bad guys to fool the auditors. But, if not
auditors, then who can organizations rely on to deter, prevent and
detect fraud? Should it be management? Those charged with governance?
How about the government? Maybe we need to add more auditing standards?
This session will reveal the answer to winning the war on fraud, waste
and abuse and introduce a recently published set of protocols that
organizations committed to combating fraud can implement and follow. 
To share his practical experience in auditing and investigating fraud,
waste and abuse is David L. Cotton, CGFM, CPA, CFE, chairman, PRIVATE
Cotton & Company LLP. The firm was founded in 1981 and has a practice
concentration in assisting federal and state government agencies,
inspectors general and government grantees and contractors with a
variety of government program-related assurance and advisory services.
Cotton & Company has performed grant and contract, indirect cost rate,
financial statement, financial related, and performance audits for more
than two dozen federal inspectors general, including the Government
Accountability Office, Department of State, the Department of Justice,
Department of Education, Drug Enforcement Administration and Department
of Homeland Security.
Please join us for two hours of lively discussion. In addition to the
speaker's commentary, about 20 minutes will be set aside for questions.
