15th Annual State Auditor's Conference

This September state employees gathered in Pocahontas County to attend the 15th Annual State Auditor's conference. 27 sessions offered refresher training for many, and for new employees a broad overview of how the state manages the payment process. In 2008 the conference offered the first classes approved for continuing education credit. In 2009 the number of approved classes doubled, making the state auditor's conference a very affordable training opportunity for government employed CPA's. Auditor Gainer spoke with Brenda Turley from the Board of Accountancy.

In part two, Lisa Comer talked with one of the newest presenters at the conference, C. Joan Parker, general counsel at the WV Ethics Commission. The Ethics Commission has been a contributor to the state auditor's conference for many years.

In part 3 of our program, Lisa Comer returns to talk about how the auditor's conference began as a small seminar in one room, and has become one of the most effective training conferences in state government.
