**Itinerary**
8:30-9:00am	Registration and light breakfast
9:00-9:20am	Welcome
9:30-10:20am (Session #1)	CHOICE A: WISEStaff The WISEstaff session will be an overview for school district personnel responsible for the set-up and management of WISEid for staff members and WISEdata. The 2018-19 WISEstaff collection will open in September. Come join other districts in the area as we walk through Secure Home, ASM, WISEidand WISEstaff.	CHOICE B: Financial Audit Why do we need an audit every year? What documents should I have prepared before the auditors arrive? What's an internal control? What are auditor "red flags"? This session will talk about answers to all of these questions and more...more than you ever wanted to know about your fiscal audit!
10:30-11:20am (Session #2)	CHOICE A: WISEGrants This session will provide participants with an overview of the WISEgrants federal grants management platform with information on the budget, claiming, and reporting functionality within the system. The presentation will include frequently-asked questions and useful technical assistance on new and existing features and will cover program-specific news and updates that relate to federal grants management in WISEgrants.	CHOICE B: Leaves of Absence in Worker’s Compensation, Employment Law & How to Effectively Use Them This session will focus on the leaves available to employees under FMLA, ADA, worker’s compensation, and district policies. The session will outline and highlight the interplay and overlap of the different leaves and how management personnel should respond to requests for leaves of absence in different situations.
11:30-12:30pm	Lunch
12:40-1:30pm (Session #3)	CHOICE A: Keeping your Employee Information Up-To-Date in the WRS It is very important for employers to make sure employee information reported to the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) is accurate and up to date. Not only will it keep employers from having extra work in adjustments and corrections, but it will ensure a smooth Annual Reconciliation. In this session, you will learn the different tools available to assist you throughout the year and through the Annual Reconciliation process.	CHOICE B: WUFAR Session All LEAs in Wisconsin, including independent charter schools, must submit financial reports and grant budgets and claims to DPI using the Department's established account coding system. This section will progress from the basics of the Wisconsin Uniform Financial Accounting Requirements (WUFAR) into more in-depth practical scenarios around WUFAR as utilized within WISEgrants and other federal grant reporting. Business office staff will learn what pieces matter to the program area and how having this knowledge, along with communication between the program and business office, will improve the LEA’s management of federal funds.
1:40-2:30pm (Session #4)	CHOICE A: 2018-19 School Level Expenditure Reporting Requirements Under ESSA Local Education Agencies (LEAs) will be required to report per-pupil expenditures, including actual personnel and non-personnel expenditures, for each school and each LEA. The per-pupil expenditures will be disaggregated by two fund sources: 1) Federal; and 2) a combined State and Local. This session will provide: 1) additional details related to this new 2018-19 school level reporting requirement; and 2) an opportunity for participants to provide feedback regarding the reporting of these actual 2018-19 school year per-pupil expenditures.	CHOICE B: Web Tools, Tips, and Tricks for Bookkeepers & Payroll Professionals This session will focus on web tools that make you more organized and efficient at your job. Vetting all the thousands of business apps that are now available can be time-consuming. Also, training yourself can be difficult as well. It is our goal in this session to show tools that are practical for school business offices and give you some examples of how they can be put to use. Examples include Google Apps, DocuSign, Trello, TinyScan and more.
2:40-3:20pm (Session #5)	CHOICE A: Health Benefits Compliance Update The focus of this presentation will be on ACA mandates, reporting and understanding COBRA qualifying events for your health plan benefits. In addition, we will discuss a strategic approach to control healthcare costs and premiums.	CHOICE B: AP & 1099's Accounts Payables and 1099s can be routine and regular tasks in the business office. In this session, we will brainstorm weekly accounts payable efficiencies and year-end accounts payables considerations. The presentation will conclude with a 1099 overview and discussion. Come ready to learn and ready to possibly share some of your expertise with others!
3:20-3:30pm	Wrap-up, Door Prizes, Evals
