Greetings Fellow AGA Members and Prospective Members: I hope you were able to attend the November chapter meeting where we heard from one of our members, Rebecca Hunter, CPA, CGFM, Commissioner of the Department of Human Resources. Commissioner Hunter shared an inspirational message on “The Importance of Personal and Professional Development.” Jerry Durham, our CGFM Chair, has met with Commissioner Hunter to promote consideration of the Certified Government Financial Manager designation in the establishment of job requirements for applicable positions with the State of Tennessee. Please watch for announcements from the Education Committee regarding training opportunities and from the Community Service Committee regarding opportunities to serve those in need with your time, your talents, and your resources. Be sure to mark your calendar for our upcoming Winter Seminar, which is scheduled for January 18 and 19, 2012. In conjunction with the Winter Seminar, we anticipate having at least an additional half-day of training sponsored by Oracle. As we look forward to Thanksgiving and reflect on our many blessings, I am very thankful for the wonderful 2011-2012 AGA Nashville Chapter Leadership Team that I am blessed to work with this year. We would like to hear from you if you have questions or suggestions regarding anything related to the chapter’s operations or activities.

AGA Promotes Transparency Through Citizen Centric Reporting By Bill Miller, Chair Accountability Working Group

What is Citizen Centric Reporting?

Seeing a need to provide more informative government reporting to the general public, AGA launched the Citizen Centric Report initiative. This report is a nicely designed template of 4 pages of information the average citizen would want to know. The first page covers general information such as population figures, regional characteristics and government goals. The second page covers performance of key missions and services. The third page addresses revenues and costs, and the fourth page examines future concerns and initiatives for the ensuing year. AGA envisioned the reports to be prepared annually, although each entity would set their own parameters and goals—perhaps issuing them more or less frequently.

This initiative is moving across governmental entities fast and for good reason. The CCR reports are fantastic examples of transparency to the constituency in a format that captures the essential message citizens want to know. The CCR is the “CliffNotes” of governance—within minutes the constituency will know the essential facts, figures, and future issues and initiatives of their governing entity. For the governing entity, CCR is a talking paper and report card, and for the citizens, CCR is engagement. If they know the facts, figures, and initiatives they will be better informed and can judge where their concerns might be.

Why AGA?

So, why is AGA engaged in this process? To quote AGA’s Executive Director, “If not us, then who? If not now, then when?” AGA leaders saw a need for understandable transparency with the citizens served by government. It was all too evident that normal government financial reports were too extensive and cumbersome to read much less understand. The financial reports were written for the accountants, not the average citizen. AGA’s initiative serves as a bridge to the outside world and window into government. AGA also recognized that the citizens have a need to know and governments need to be transparent.

What is AGA Doing?

With an assigned National Director and with tremendous grass roots support from several members in various chapters, a pilot project was started. These dedicated servants helped craft the templates and worked directly with local governments to develop a CCR. The results were astounding. To date there have been 60 CCRs prepared by all levels of government and the enthusiasm for these reports is growing nationwide. (You can view these reports on our website). But, it is not enough. The goal is to have government institutions embrace the CCR concept and use the system for the good of all. AGA has designated proliferation of the CCR as one of the highest priorities in 2011-2012 and built the organization to get there. A working group was formed to expand knowledge and execution of the CCR system. This group is charged with advising the Director and working with chapters in developing and distributing the CCR. Members of this group include the superstars who successfully launched the pilot projects.

11

AGA Promotes Transparency Through Citizen Centric Reporting By Bill Miller, Chair Accountability Working Group (Continued) Where is AGA Going?

Local chapter involvement is critical to the success of the CCR program. It is imperative for the chapters to recognize the need for government accountability to the citizenry. The successes we have had with the published reports bode well for proliferation over time. The chapters have a ready benchmark to work from, and the templates and instructions for use are available on the AGA website, http://www.agacgfm.org/citizen/.

Each chapter can take baby steps towards the process by creating a CCR for the chapter activity. Believe it or not, it is a fun activity to do and gives the chapter an easy reference for the chapter’s finances and activities. The chapters’ CCRs do not take a lot of time, generally between 4 and 9 hours. Additionally, chapters gain up to 2000 points in the chapter recognition program. As of September 30, 2011, 30 chapters submitted CCRs to the AGA National Office.

The chapters can then move to assisting government entities in preparation of a CCR. This can be done by perusing the entity’s website and crafting a CCR based on that information and meeting with government officials. Or, chapter representatives can schedule a meeting with government representatives and discuss and show example CCRs prepared by other government entities.

Nationally, the government entities compete for Certificates of Excellence in Citizen Centric Reporting.

So, we look forward to working with the chapters to spur this initiative forward and encourage each chapter to accept the responsibility to develop the CCR program in their chapter. Please contact Evie Barry, director of performance reporting at ebarry@agacgfm.org or 703-684-6931, ext. 324 or Louise Kapelewski, programs assistant at lkapelewski@agacgfm.org or 703-684-6931, ext. 321. Editor’s Note – The Nashville Chapter’s CCR is available at http://nashvilleaga.org.

The ABC’s of the CGFM Exam By Karen B. Hale, MAOM, CGFM 8/3/06

No, I am not suggesting that you return to elementary school, but the concepts of studying for the CGFM examination are quite fundamental. Let’s start at the most logical place, the beginning.

Assess your situation. What is your level of understanding for the topics covered by the refresher course.

If the concepts are new or even foreign to you, you may have to spend a great deal of time studying every aspect of government financial management. What is your style of learning? What is your approach? Some people can read material one time and be ready to take the exam. Others may need a study plan mapped out. What are your study habits? Are you an organizer who plans ahead, or are you a procrastinator who needs a jump start? Answering these simple questions will assist you in preparing for the exam.

12

The ABC’s of the CGFM Exam By Karen B. Hale, MAOM, CGFM (Continued)

Be your own disciplinarian/monitor. Most of us are limited in the amount of time we can spend each day

on extracurricular activities. Therefore, you will need to analyze your calendar to decide what times and dates will work the best for you. Some can study six hours each Saturday, but others may only have one hour each day to devote to the task. Whatever your study needs are, make a schedule and stick to it. Remind yourself that this commitment is short term and will be over once each part of the exam is successfully passed. Another must is to establish a contingency plan in the event that your plan is disrupted. If your plan is to study during the week, make up any lost time on the following Saturday. Do not allow yourself to get off track. It is easy to procrastinate, and then, panic at the last minute. Keeping on target allows you the flexibility to have “cram sessions” near the exam date (if needed) without creating study burn out.

Create a schedule/time frame. It is critical to establish a deadline in order to make yourself accountable.

Some may prepare for each exam part a minimum of two weeks, and some may require more time and take six weeks for each part. Whatever your needs may be, this should drive the scheduling of each exam. If you determine that you need four to six weeks to study for one part of the exam, make a commitment to yourself by purchasing and scheduling the exam no later than six to eight weeks from the date of commitment. This should contribute to your staying on target. As you see the exam date approaching, let that deadline serve as a motivator. Otherwise, you could flounder to the end of your eligibility period before getting serious about a commitment.

Develop your own learning tools. Once you determine your learning style, you may need to decide

whether you are an auditory, visual, or hands-on learner. You may be a combination of all three. If you are an auditory learner, you may need to attend formalized training or participate in group discussions to absorb the material. If you are a visual learner, you may need to read and highlight the material, or you may even want to develop charts, graphs, and tables to show various correlations and distinctions. If you are more of a hands-on learner, you may need to work through several real-life examples to get a feel for how to apply the concepts. Whatever tools will meet your individualized needs, develop them early in the timeline to take advantage of every minute you have to devote to the process.

Expect success. Expect it of yourself. Past failures need to be erased from your memory and simply

believe in yourself. You have successfully reached many other goals in your lifetime, and this one is no different. Accept nothing less.

Failure is not an option. Decide what your primary motivator is for achieving the CGFM designation. Your

motivator may be monetary, notoriety, or the possibility of a promotion. Whatever you determine that motivator to be, give yourself pep talks by repeating that motivator to yourself several times a day. Picture yourself meeting that goal. This not only helps to hold you accountable, it keeps you plugged into the commitment you made to yourself. Do not accept failure as an option.

Good luck!

CEC Member Spotlight – Valerie Oliver,

Two -Year Director

I was born in Athens, Alabama and lived there until I was 9 years old. I completed my education in Nashville graduating from North High School. My class was the last graduating class from North High. During my senior year, I became involved with Inroads Nashville. Inroads is a non-profit organization which assists in developing and placing talented youth in business and industry. Inroads allowed me the opportunity to intern with Ernst & Ernst while attending college. Seeing the long hours the accountants worked quickly let me know this was not the path I desired.

After graduating from David Lipscomb College, I worked a few jobs in accounting trying to find my way. In September of 1984, I began this journey of state service. My mentor at Inroads asked me to stay at least two years with the state. Here I am twenty-seven years later. I started with the Department of Revenue as an audit associate. My primary responsibility was the audit of corporate tax returns for corporate business and insurance companies. I worked for Revenue 14 years and seven months. There were great times and opportunities. During my latter years with Revenue, I decided to enroll in graduate school at TSU. I transferred from Revenue to the Department of Correction in 1999 as an Auditor 4. I was responsible for managing the internal audit section of the department. In 2000, after taking the one class per semester the state paid for, and a few semesters I would take two, I received my master’s degree in business. It was at that time that I decided to complete some unfinished business, passing the CPA exam. Becoming very tired of the travel, I accepted an opportunity to be promoted to an Assistant Fiscal Director in Correction. Two years later I transferred to the Department of Commerce and Insurance as the Fiscal Director. After being there two years, I was promoted to a Fiscal Director 3 with the Department of Health. I attended an AGA luncheon with Ray Register several years ago and never joined. After moving to Health it became difficult to obtain my CPE hours. I decided to join AGA mainly for the educational benefits. The community service and networking the organization provides really impressed me. When Shirley Henry asked me to serve as a two-year director, I quickly said yes. I serve with Eugene Hampton as Co-Chair of the Membership Committee. The main joy of my life is my family. I have a daughter, son and two grandgirls. Each child has a girl. They are truly the reason I exist. I enjoy shopping, sewing and shopping some more.
