State and local governments face increasing
financial pressures and heightened public
scrutiny as a result of the current financial crisis.
Many organizations have
responded with reactionary measures such as across-the-board cuts,
layoffs, and the elimination of services.
Budgeting for Outcomes new approach to budgeting
that starts with the results citizens want and focuses not on how to cut
the budget, but on
how to
maximize the results with the dollars that are eligible to be spent.
Budgeting for Outcomes attempts to set the price of government, solicit
offers to deliver the desired
results, and negotiates performance agreements with the chosen
providers. This session will evaluate these
methods and develop strategies
that governments can use to survive the current financial crisis and
prepare for the years to come.

While
risk management and risk assessment require the use of resources, in a
bad economy those resources become scarcer and harder to come by,
necessitating cuts. It is at these times that those issues become
paramount. A good manager knows more has to be done with less and risk
assessment becomes vital to safeguarding assets and reducing or at least
controlling the risk so that what assets are left are properly
safeguarded. We will discuss ways to get more done with existing staff
without increasing risk to unacceptable levels. We will discuss
fundamental concepts in internal control, the design and operation of
systems and economical, yet highly effective means of assessing risk.
