2025 DOAA State Auditor Training Program

The Department of Audits & Accounts is committed to providing valuable insights to local government and audit professionals. Each year, we curate a selection of presentations for attendees of the Governmental Accounting and Issues Seminar within the State Auditor Training Program.

Each year brings unique challenges and opportunities for our State Auditor Training Program and this year will be no exception. DOAA is pleased to present the 2025 Local Government Accounting and Reporting Issues Seminar. We are offering this training opportunity with two choices of delivery methods. You may choose to attend either In-Person (Group Live Delivery Method) or Virtually (Group Internet-Based Delivery Method). We will be holding the In-Person session at Middle Georgia State University in Macon, GA. Two virtual sessions will be available for anyone who is not able to join us for the In-Person session.

The Local Government Accounting and Reporting Issues Seminar aims to provide valuable insights and knowledge to participants from both local governments and municipalities, as well as the auditors of those entities. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to enhance your government financial skills and stay updated with the latest developments in governmental accounting and reporting.
