Event Details

This event is a combined monthly Lunch 'n' Learn meeting and audio conference of the Association of Government Accountants (Des Moines Chapter).

Please join us for the Lunch 'n Learn as we listen to Kent Stock, Community Savings Bank, talk to us about "Leadership" at 11:30 a.m.

The audio conference will follow with the topic, "Find Strength in Numbers: Sampling Techniques to Improve Financial Audit, Control and Program Performance" at 1:00 p.m. Statistical sampling plays an increasingly important role in financial audit, internal control and program evaluation. An appropriately selected statistical sample provides an unbiased and statistically precise assessment of a population in question. Depending on how data are organized, using different sampling strategies could save money on evaluations and travel. This audio conference addresses recent advances in sampling techniques applicable to financial audit, internal control and program evaluation. It concludes with case studies recently applied in several government agencies.

To share their knowledge and expertise in using statistical sampling in auditing government operations are Albert Lee, Ph.D., senior economist, Summit Consulting LLC; and Denise S. Wu, CGFM, CPA, partner, Clifton Gunderson LLP.

One CPE is offered for the lunch meeting and two CPE are offered for the audio conference (3 CPE total for the event). This meeting will take place in the Knudsen Room of the Jessie Parker Building.

Community Service focus for the months of April and May is National Multiple Sclerosis Society.  Attendees may make monetary donations at the April and May meetings.
