MESSAGE FROM THE CHAPTER PRESIDENT · LaVerne Cox-Williams [email protected] By Laws and Procedures Vacant ... $85 application fee and a copy of an official transcript from

Hello, AGA members and friends! Welcome to the March 2014 edition of The Capital City Focus. The AGA train is rolling right along, taking us into the last quarter of our program year: March, April, May. We’ve had some very interesting monthly meetings. Our February meeting, with guest speaker Theodore Williams, Auditor General of the Air Force, offered one hour of CPE credit and was jointly hosted by the Montgomery Chapters of AGA and the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC). Mr. Williams bolstered his topic, Audit Readiness, with years of experience, insight, and expertise. We were delighted to have him with us and learned a lot from his presentation. Thank you, ASMC! Our next AGA train stop is just around the corner: our March luncheon meeting, to be held March 13, at 12 noon, at the RSA Plaza on Washington Avenue. I am

excited that it is CGFM MONTH! In case you don’t know, or have forgotten, CGFM stands for Certified Government Financial Manager. Candidates must qualify through National AGA and pass three rigorous examinations covering Governmental Environment, Governmental Accounting, Financial Reporting and Budgeting, and Governmental Financial Management and Control. Some States have taken measures to support employees in earning the CGFM designation by offering financial incentives such as bonuses and raises. Some higher-level accounting positions now require a professional certification, as evidenced by the Accounting Director III job announcement recently released by Alabama State Personnel. If you have not yet earned your CGFM, I strongly urge you to take action soon. I earned my CGFM in 2009. It has proven to be a highly worthwhile accomplishment in more ways than one. The Montgomery Chapter offers a limited number of CGFM scholarships for members who pass the CGFM exams this program year. Important information about upcoming changes to the CGFM exams is included in this newsletter. Wear RED to the luncheon next week if you have earned the CGFM designation. Special door prize drawings will be held for CGFMs in attendance. On Saturday, March 15, at 10:00 a.m., we will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the residents of Capitol Hill Healthcare Center on Hull Street. Join us as we brighten their day with reading, singing, and dancing! On Friday, April 26, our Chapter will participate in the Joy to Life Foundation’s Walk of Life. We will have a friendly fund-raising ―Alabama/Auburn‖ competition, so sign up and choose your team. More information from Community Service Director Beverlyn Dean is included in this newsletter. On Friday, April 11, the Montgomery Chapter will return to the lovely campus of Faulkner University for another full-day Spring Seminar. We warmly invite members and non-members to join us for this high-quality educational event. For non-members, the registration fee will include one year of AGA membership. For all attendees, the registration fee will include eight (8) hours of CPE, break refreshments, and lunch. This year, we are offering a discounted rate for full-time students. Looking forward to seeing you there. As the AGA train travels swiftly toward the close of this program year, Incoming President/President-elect Lataya Lucas is recruiting team members for the coming program year, 2014-2015. A request for nominations has been emailed to members. Please reply by March 14. Also, consider joining a committee or accepting a leadership position. We need your help to continue the growth and effectiveness of our Chapter. Margie Toney, President, 2013-2014

The tremendous strides we have taken as a Chapter set the bar high for future endeavors. We are grateful for all our past and present directors and committee members’ time, energy, insight, skills and knowledge. Without them we would not be this far. Many of our current leaders are planning to stay on board for the upcoming year but some have decided to make room for new volunteers. Montgomery AGA members: WE WANT YOU!

If you have ever wanted to embark on a new leadership role, your training can start right here as a vol-unteer with one of Montgomery AGA’s committees. If you have ever wanted to suggest changes, this is your time to lead Montgomery AGA in that direction. We are looking to make the load easier for each committee by dividing and conquering responsibilities: WE WANT YOU!

On the next few pages, you will find a brief outline of responsibilities for each committee outlined for your consideration. If you see where you can help the team or have a desire to serve, I encourage you

to please join team AGA. It will truly be a rewarding experience! Lataya Lucas, President-Elect

CGFM Examinations Update To ensure the CGFM Examinations’ content continues to reflect the current government financial management field, AGA periodically conducts a Job

Analysis Study of the role of government financial manager. The latest Job Analysis Study was conducted in 2013 and, as a result, the CGFM Examina-

tions will be updated in 2014.

The revised examinations content outlines can be found here. The schedule of the update is as follows:

1. Current CGFM Examinations using the existing content outlines will be administered until March 31, 2014.

2. Starting on April 1, the CGFM Examinations will follow the updated content outlines.

3. From April 1 to May 31, AGA will offer beta CGFM Examinations: the updated examinations will be administered in Pearson VUE testing

centers; however, the scores will not be reported to the candidates taking these examinations until the end of June. Beta CGFM Examinations

will be offered at a discounted rate of $89 per exam.

4. There will be no CGFM Examinations administered in June 2014.

5. Starting on July 1, 2014, regular (updated) CGFM Examinations will be administered, with immediate score reporting.

If you are planning on taking the exams by March 31, AGA has scheduled a CGFM Preparation Q&A Webinar, a great opportunity for Q&A on topics

from the three CGFM study guides with one of our knowledgeable and dynamic instructors. To register for the CGFM Preparation Q&A Webinar click

here.

If you are planning on taking the exams after April 1, AGA is in the process of revising the three CGFM study guides to reflect the updated examina-

tions content outlines. The updated study guides will be available in MARCH 2014. AGA is also planning two Intensive Review Courses that will cover

the updated examinations content outlines for March 31 to April 1 in Washington, DC and April 2–3 in Oklahoma City. Visit this link for more

information.

Please review the Frequently Asked Questions below about the examinations update. If you have any additional questions, contact Katya Silver in

the Office of Professional Certification at 800.AGA.7211, ext. 305.

Exam Update FAQs

Q: What is the difference between beta and regular CGFM Examinations?

A: Beta CGFM Examinations are the same examinations (same content, number of questions and timeframe) as the regular examinations, but do not

provide an immediate score. Beta examinations will only be administered in April and May 2014, with the scores available during the week of June 30.

Beta examinations are priced at $89, as opposed to $109 for regular CGFM Examinations.

Q: If I pass beta exams, will it count towards my CGFM?

A: Yes.

Q: I still have the three CGFM Examinations to pass. Can I take some beta and some regular CGFM Examinations?

A: Yes, you can take both beta and regular exams — it just depends on the dates you schedule your exam appointments.

Q: If I don’t pass, will beta exams have the same waiting period as the regular exams?

A: Yes.

Q: If I take beta exams in April, can I find out my score before June?

A: No. In order to have high-quality CGFM Examinations, we need to collect statistics and analyze beta exams before we can report scores to the candi-

dates. The beta exam scores will be available during the week of June 30.

Q: What if my eligibility expires while I am waiting for my beta scores?

A: If you take and don’t pass the beta CGFM Examinations and your eligibility expires in the April through July timeframe, contact AGA’s Office of

Professional Certification for an extension to complete your exams.

Q: What areas are new on the examinations?

A: A lot of objectives on the CGFM Examinations content outlines were revised, some were re-ordered and some were added, so we recommend

reviewing the entire updated content outlines, rather than selected areas. That said, we would like to point out that CGFM Examination 1 has com-

pletely new content for its Section VII.

Q: Can I use my existing study guides to prepare for the CGFM Examinations?

A: While a lot of objectives on the examination content outlines remained the same, there were a number of revised objectives. I f you are planning to

utilize the CGFM Study Guides for preparation, we recommend ordering the 2014 editions of the study guides that will be available in February.

James D. Howell, an AGA member since 2011, recently received his CGFM certification in

September 2013. He began his career with the CPA firm of Richard, Harris, and Ingram in

Montgomery soon after his graduation from Auburn University in Montgomery. Later in 1985,

he was hired by the Examiners of Public Accounts County Audit Division as a field examiner.

His promotion to District Manager of the Tuscaloosa District in 1990 led to a move to the

Tuscaloosa area. He was recently appointed Assistant Director of the County Audit Division,

based in Montgomery.

James is a native of the Montgomery area and the Montgomery Public School System,

graduating in 1979 from Robert E. Lee High where he was an All-City third baseman. While

attending George C. Wallace Community College, he was named an All-Conference third base-

man. Continuing with his education, he also started for the University of Southern Mississippi

baseball team. James returned to Montgomery and finished his education, graduating from

AUM in 1984 with a degree in accounting.

David, as he likes to be called, will be relocating permanently to the Montgomery area this

summer with his wife, Dr. Sarah Howell. They have four children: Emily, a paramedic in Tusca-

loosa; Sam, a Criminal Justice major at University of AL in Tuscaloosa; Hunter, a Criminal Jus-

tice major at University of South Alabama; and Matt, who works for UPS and lives in Nash-

ville, Tennessee. David has one granddaughter, Presley, age 7. He is looking forward to coming

home and being close to his beloved Auburn Tigers.

The CEC meeting of the officers and directors of the Montgomery, AL Chapter of Association of Government Accountants (AGA) was called to order at 11:47 a.m. at the RSA Plaza, 5th Floor Con-ference Room, Thursday, February 18, by President Margie Toney.

A quorum was present with the following officers and directors in attendance: President Margie Ton-ey, LaTaya Lucas, Janice Duncan, Sandra Steele, Patrick Hemme, Dennice Hillard, Nicole Boswell, Alea DePaola, Kay Wilson, and Carmen Leonard.

President Toney distributed the agenda and other documents.

Minutes: Sandra Steele distributed minutes to CEC. CEC read minutes silently. A motion was made by LaTaya to accept minutes (one correction: winner vs. winders); seconded by Janice. Mo-tion carried.

Treasurer’s Report: Kay distributed June 1 – January 31, 2014 financial reports. President Toney thanked Kay for finding Scott Burbank, an accountant who is Quickbooks-certified, who has helped her with the reports. The CEC reviewed/discussed reports; financial statements were tabled. It was recommended that each committee chair review the applicable receipts and expenses and email Kay accordingly with necessary corrections.

President’s Report: President Margie reported throughout the meeting. LaTaya and Emma are attending the Sectional Leadership Meeting in Kansas City, MO, April 24-26.

Chapter Recognition Points: LaTaya stated that the second quarter recognition points were sub-mitted. The deadline is March 31 for the third quarter points.

Incoming CEC for 2014-2015: LaTaya asked for volunteers; she needs to present the slate of offic-ers at the Spring Seminar. A request for nominations is being drafted and will be distributed soon. There will be an election for President-elect, Treasurer, Secretary and Financial Secretary. William Waldroff, Past- President, and LaTaya (Nominating Committee Chair) are on the nominating commit-tee so far.

Immediate Past President: No report.

Meetings/Registration: Janice Duncan distributed a spreadsheet of attendance, collections, and average cost for monthly luncheons from September 2013 to January 2014. Concerning the Awards luncheon to be held in May, Janice will check with Mr. Holt about the availability of white tablecloths and about a meeting location for the CEC on the day of the May luncheon. She reported that the luncheon meeting room has audio/visual technology. Janice will also check with the Plaza about a parking code for the March meeting.

Programs: No report.

Accountability: No report.

Awards: Dennice stated that National and Chapter awards nominations are open; the deadline for submission is March 24. There is a link on the website for favorite speaker surveys. The CEC dis-cussed plans for the May Awards luncheon. Theme colors: blue, gold, and white. Awards Commit-tee has selected gifts. The awards luncheon will be held at Baumhower’s Restaurant, downtown.

Audit: The Compilation prepared by CPA Robert Vogel was emailed to the CEC by Gladys Gray. President Toney has another question about the report (GAAF amount $2,885 vs. $2,500). The CEC will approve the compilation after questions are cleared up.

CGFM: The study groups are not operating as hoped. Emma has been attending (low turnout or no-show). Alea will check with Pamela Hill about publicizing. In the meantime, CEC will work on ideas on how to make the study group sessions more appealing. Sandra reported that there are nine CGFM exam scholarships available. There will be a CGFM Exam Updates webinar on February 20 at 1 pm.; it is free. There will be an intensive review course and exam in Washington DC on March 31-April 1 and in Oklahoma City on April 2-3. The cost of the review is $348 (18 CPE hours offered). The exam will be free to participants. Pat gave an update on the new CGFM test and the upcoming beta exams. He also stated that there will be no exams during June.
