Association of Local Government Auditors

What do you think of when you think of ALGA, the Association of Local Government Auditors? Professional ties? Networking with peers? Relevant, low-cost training? Affordable peer reviews?

While idly flipping through old versions of the yellow book, I saw reference to a document I never knew existed - Additional GAO Audit Standards, Auditing Computer-Based Systems, issued in March 1979. My first thought was dismay that my collection of yellow books is incomplete.

ALGA's President talks about two experiences in auditing by social services and the easy and difficult challenges we face.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help with our 21^st annual conference last month in San Francisco as speakers, moderators, room monitors, and members of the planning committee.  ALGA's strength as an organization results from the knowledge, commitment and diversity of its members.
