Quarterly public sector webcast series
March 14 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Event overview
Complex forces of change are transforming the public sector. Can governments react and adapt to these challenges while continuing to support the goals of—and provide accountability and transparency to—all their constituencies?
RSM US LLP is pleased to again offer a quarterly webcast series centered on hot topics affecting the public sector. This complimentary CPE-qualified program will provide unique insights and strategies to help all types of governmental organizations (federal, state, local and tribal) adapt to change and plan for its long-term impact.
Topic 1:
Third-party contract compliance in public sector entities
Public sector entities contract third parties for a variety of goods and services. This is often more efficient and costs less than trying to do it all in-house. But if those third parties aren’t compliant with the terms and conditions of your agreement, the risk can be significant.
Contract oversight is a critical, but often complex, part of managing risk, particularly in public sector entities with multiple stakeholders, an ever-changing environment and sometimes competing priorities. This session will discuss third-party contract risks to help you think about your third-party relationships with fresh eyes. We will discuss compliance strategies and the benefits of proper oversight. We’ll also present real-life case studies and the positive outcomes of contract oversight.
Topic 2:
Public sector continuity of operations planning
Continuity of operations planning (COOP) has evolved over the last two decades in the public sector. The focus is now on operational resilience in both the public and private sectors across crisis management, continuity of operations, disaster recovery and incident response within the incident command structure. We will talk about operationalizing your continuity plans, which will enhance your COOP program.
