Finance Trainer & CPE Program Manager, Lisa Vallad, delivered a presentation on The Ethics of Whistle-Blowing earlier this month. The audience was part of the CFMA (Colorado Fiscal Managers’ Association) 2012 Spring Conference, in Colorado Springs.
Our next day of continuing professional education (CPE)
for CPAs and other employees is scheduled for Mon, June 4.
This is your chance to earn up to 7 credits of no-cost,
highly relevant CPE. With the average cost per credit hour
in the Denver area conservatively estimated at $45, our
June session is worth $315 to each CPA participant. Just
as important: class participants throughout the year have
routinely rated our CPE offerings as highly relevant and
our instructors as highly effective.
All sessions are presented in the CU System Building at
1800 Grant Street in downtown Denver:
Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 ends at midnight on June 30. All FY2012 business must be correctly recorded in the People- Soft Finance System by the time of June month-end closing (around mid-July). However, not all FY2012 expenses will have been invoiced and paid by then. As a result, there are several processes that accrue these expenses to the proper month and fiscal year (June, 2012).
OUC staff members have been busy … training new staff, learning and sharing new information, pursuing professional development. Among the happenings:
