Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), Internal Controls, and Fraud Prevention in Government Training Workshop: Converting Compliance into Program Advantage

With the updated OMB Circular No. A-123 being issued over a year ago, this will be an advanced level internal control workshop focusing on what agencies and Departments have done the last year in relation to the requirements that defines management’s responsibility for internal control with an emphasis on integrating Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and what they plan to do going forward. There will be a focus on best practices and what other agencies and Departments can to do move their ERM efforts forward.     

OMB Circular No. A-123 and the statute it implements, the Federal Managers’ Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA) of 1982, are at the center of Federal requirements to improve accountability in Federal programs and operations. A re-examination of the existing internal control requirements, originally issued in December 2004, for Federal agencies was initiated in light of the new Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government (better known as the Green Book) issued by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) on September 10, 2014. The revised OMB Circular No. A-123 enhances the existing internal control framework to provide for stronger risk management, an enhanced governance model and improve operational efficiency.

This workshop is designed for the front-line practitioner, manager, or executive who is responsible for sustaining an effective internal controls program and who is charged in implementing the updated requirements of OMB A-123, including elements of ERM.

This Workshop is Limited To Government Employees Only to Permit Candid Discussion. The Press and Industry are NOT invited to register for this workshop.
