The complex and ever-changing environment of accounting standards have made accounting and financial reporting an increasingly meticulous task for government departments and agencies.
On top of that, a new policy on internal controls became effective on April 15. This means that you need to know both what is expected and how to meet the policy's requirement. There is a great amount of preparation and work to be done in order to implement this new policy - you can't afford to fall behind!
At INFONEX's Public Sector Accounting and Reporting event, our distinguished faculty, which includes experts with decades of experience as public sector financial managers, will explore the topics that matter to you most. This event will provide you with the practical step-by-step guidance you need to prepare your department.
Hear directly from the Office of the Comptroller General, Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada (TBS) about their new internal controls initiative, including expectations and lessons learned. Gain insight on the implications of the quarterly reporting bill and how it will impact the financial reporting function of your department if passed.
In addition to critical updates on new standards, hear a case study on best practices to strengthen financial management from the Audit and Evaluation Officer at Veteran Affairs Canada and hear about lessons learned regarding controls audits from the Audit and Review Project Manager at Transport Canada.
Public Sector Accounting and Reporting offers you the tools you need to keep on top of new and upcoming standards, as well as best practices in adopting the new internal controls policy and quarterly reporting. You will leave the conference with the practical knowledge necessary to implement the new standards in your department's financial operations.
Don't miss this opportunity to take away practical knowledge you can begin applying right away in your own department or agency.
