The Fall Conference Features a Premier Education Program

The TxPPA Fall Workshop features a first rate program with a great line-up of speakers and sessions for all levels of procurement officers. Earn 14.7 CPE Credits at this conference and take part in sessions such as:

Fixed Assets - Narita Holmes

In Texas, the purchase, receipt, tracking and record keeping of capital and tracked assets is often delegated to the purchasing department by law. This makes it important for purchasing professionals to understand their obligations in order to comply with legal and the GASB 34 accounting requirements that must be met. In addition, issues such as fixed asset policies, methods of tracking assets, inventory procedures and other related topics are discussed.

Detecting & Preventing Procurement Fraud - Ernie Lee

It does happen. This discussion of public procurement fraud covers several interesting facets, including:

• Discussion of the implications of the DOJ National Procurement Fraud Task Force
• Discussion of various procurement fraud schemes
• Why we Inspect and Monitor Contracts (red-handed substitution)
• Discussion of the Fraud Triangle. Trust is not control.
• Fraud Risk Factors and Red Flags

Other session topics include "Contracts, Relationships, and More", "Avoiding Politics, Violations & Protests", "Specification of Writing, How to Put Them Together" and much more.
