Anytime a group of auditors gathers to discuss the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), words such as "unprecedented" and "new paradigm" often follow. The idea of covering such a groundbreaking topic seemed overwhelming at first.

Congratulations to all those who worked hard to put on an incredible 2010 ALGA Conference in San Antonio, Texas. Even with a dismal economy, many of you saw the value in enhancing your audit skills, networking, and supporting our only local government organization. To all of you, Thank you!

We need to talk about risk, or at least I do. I must finally confess that I have always been uncomfortable about the risk concept. I understand risk and believe it's important to think about in our audits but I also think auditors may miss important findings if they rely too heavily on a risk-based approach.

A Texas-sized thank you to our incoming president Beth Breier and everyone who volunteered to help make our 22nd annual conference in San Antonio such a success.

In the spirit of thematic issues of the LGAQ, we are looking at SharePoint technology through the lens of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA). The focus on accountability and outcomes for ARRA funding is unprecedented and technology is facilitating the discussion. SharePoint is a Microsoft product that allows you to customize an internal website to share and manage information.
