Stay up-to-date on rapidly changing developments by participating in ACPEN’s 2011 Governmental Accounting and Auditing Update! Take advantage of this opportunity to find out about breaking government issues. This is your opportunity to hear about the latest challenges facing governments and practitioners who work with them and audit them, presented by leading experts on governmental accounting and auditing, both those who work in the trenches and those from the regulatory arena. 

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, and its billions of dollars in additional federal funds passed through to entities subject to single audit requirements, continues to be a hot topic, and a major area of risk for governments and auditors. ARRA mandates an unprecedented amount of oversight and transparency for the spending of the stimulus funds and these are critical areas of focus for Congress and the OMB. The regulatory oversight as well as the political implications of misuse of these funds continues to raise important issues for governments at all levels, as well as their auditors. The ACPEN panel of experts can fill you in on all the latest details you need to know about how OMB is using single audits to provide transparency and accountability.
