Washington State Auditor's Office Director of Performance and IT Audit, Scott Frank, recently traveled to Puebla, Mexico where he took part in the @ Permanent Commission of Comptrollers States-Federation (CPCE-F) conference. It’s part of a Mexico and U.S. binational exchange program through NASACT designed to further enhance and strengthen training and information sharing between these renowned auditing organizations and their members. Scott was joined by Oregon Audits Division Director Kip Memmott, and NASACT Executive Director Kinney Poynter, who all shared valuable auditing expertise and experiences with their international colleagues. Scott and Kip also made a presentation to conference attendees on Collaborative Auditing in the Pacific Northwest: A Medicaid Case Study. We appreciate the chance to connect and collaborate with others in the accountability community, as we continually strive to improve our work on behalf of Washingtonians. #GoodGovernment

We couldn’t let #FraudWeek finish up without mentioning segregation of duties, or separating conflicting duty assignments, which play a critical role in helping governments protect their assets.
