Financial Audit presented by Wayde Pollock, CESA #4
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!

Roundtable Discussions (TBD)

AP & 1099s presented by Debby Schufletowski and Diane Perzborn, Baird
You may not realize that entries are going in and out of an account you never seem to touch. We will review the creation of accounting entries and discuss the use of payroll payables to simplify record keeping and data entry. 1099's will also be reviewed.
Session #3 (12:40-1:30pm) Special Education Reporting presented by Rachel Zellmer, DPI

If you are interested in learning more about spreadsheet tips and tricks, this session is for you. This session will compare some of the functionality of Google Spreadsheets to Excel. Some specific areas covered will be keyboard shortcuts, fill down, formulas and more. Additionally, we will show you a couple of ways to use spreadsheets to help communicate important information with your staff.
