Controller's Welcome Message

I am pleased to announce that on December 11, 2018, the Office of the State Controller will hold its annual Financial Conference for Chief Fiscal Officers and agency designated representatives at NCSU’s McKimmon Center in Raleigh. This year’s conference will include topics such as emerging issues in government, economic outlook for the State and nation, State auditor, budget and controller updates, cybersecurity, and professional development.

In addition, the recipients of the State Controller Fiscal Integrity Award and the Internal Audit Award of Excellence will be announced during the conference. Attendance will qualify for eight hours of CPE credit. The course announcement is attached for your review. Instructor biographies are available on OSC’s website (see link below).

The registration fee is $65 per attendee and includes breakfast and a buffet lunch. To register for this conference, visit the Office of the State Controller. Please register as soon as possible as the registration deadline is Tuesday November 27, 2018. Payment must be received by this date or you will be removed from the registration.
