GASB Update: So Much for 2020 Vision, huh?
August 31, 2021
Christopher Pembrook
Virtual
Regional
Wow, what a year. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, GASB’s standard-setting activity had actually slowed to a more manageable level in 2020 after several very busy years. However, that slower pace is set to pick up again with the implementation of many of the standards whose effective dates were initially postponed by GASB 95. In this session, we will talk about fiduciary activity accounting and the new financial reporting requirements related to leases, along with several other pending GASB statements. In addition, several newer projects are closer to completion, with newer standards immanent. We will also address the “big 3” project, which includes a proposed new financial reporting model. Whoop! Whoop! Who’s ready for the GASB Update!?!

Leadership, Motivation and Accountability for High Performance Auditors
Great audit organizations need leaders who see their role differently than just being super auditors. This highly interactive course will help audit staff cross the threshold toward becoming super leaders by understanding what makes a good leader, how to motivate others, and create an environment of accountability for high performance. This session will examine the traits, characteristics and styles of successful managers and leaders that can be learned and practiced, as well as why people in leadership positions often fail. We will explore ways to inspire and motivate staff through constructive coaching, growth opportunities and appreciation. This session also explores the communication tools, approaches, and techniques to inspire a new level of performance accountability, self-awareness and commitment through empowerment and ownership.
Business Etiquette in an Instant Information World
The proliferation of computes, smart phones, and other digital devices combined with easy internet access has created a brand new world in which the old rules of business etiquette are no longer adequate. Is texting during a business meeting rude? Are “all caps” messages alarming to recipients? Should you be Facebook friends with coworkers? This workshop offers insights into potential problem areas along with best practices for professional presentation in an online world.
