Greetings,
On behalf of the state of Indiana, I would like to welcome you to the 2016
annual conference for the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers
and Treasurers (NASACT).
Great things happen in the state of Indiana because of organizations like
NASACT that are dedicated to representing financial management and
providing leadership and training to state governments. State government is in
a unique position to provide efficient management of state resources and efforts
to provide financial stability. I offer my gratitude to NASACT for your efforts.
During your free time, I encourage you to explore the many entertainment
options the capital has to offer such as museums, music venues, theaters,
historic landmarks, White River State Park, and the Indianapolis Zoo. As
Governor of Indiana, I wish this year’s attendees a productive and memorable
experience.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Pence

Dear Friends,
Welcome! On behalf of the City of Indianapolis, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the
National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers annual conference. It is an
honor to have your prestigious organization in our city.
Well known for our Hoosier Hospitality, we will make certain that you have a memorable
experience in our city! Named the “#1 Convention City in America” by USA Today, I know you
will appreciate the walkability and convenience of meeting in Indianapolis and enjoy the
vibrancy of the destination.
If you are interested in experiencing Indianapolis in a new and fun way, the Indianapolis Cultural
Trail connects you with dining, shopping, and entertainment in cultural districts like Mass Ave,
Fletcher Place, and Fountain Square.
Whether by Pacers Bikeshare or on foot, the trail will lead you past $2 million in public art, into
niche neighborhoods, and along the scenic Central Canal. Head down to the canal and enjoy a
pedal boat or evening gondola ride. You’ll pass hotels, condos, and restaurants that lead to
Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), a premier urban research university.
Indianapolis’ culinary scene has new chef-driven restaurants opening all the time, taking
advantage of the rich agriculture surrounding us. You’ll find restaurant after restaurant within
walking distance and something for every palate. You’ll also find 50 major attractions just steps
away, including one-of-a-kind museums, skyline views from atop Monument Circle, world-class
performing arts, and an array of shopping. I encourage you to get out and explore all that the city
has to offer. It is our privilege to host this conference. We hope you’ll visit us again soon.
Warm Regards,
Joe Hogsett, Mayor

Dear NASACT members and friends:
PAUL JOYCE
Lead Conference Host
Indiana State Examiner
For the last 100 years the NASACT Annual Conference
has been an excellent opportunity for state financial
management professionals to learn from each other’s
experiences. Starting with the 2016 Annual Conference,
the next 100 years will continue to be a place for likeminded professionals to come together and meet
tomorrow’s challenges head on.
You’re sure to gain new knowledge and confirm some of
your own ideas from the technical program NASACT has
put together for you.
We have several networking events planned that feature
unique Indiana experiences. The fun run/walk will take
you along the canal in White River State Park. You’ll enjoy
the beauty of our Art Museum and local jazz artists, as
well as the excitement of playing on the field at Lucas
Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts. Downtown
Indianapolis offers everything in close proximity so
attractions, restaurants and shops are within a short walk
of the hotel.
On behalf of NASACT President, Calvin McKelvogue,
chief operating officer of Iowa’s State Accounting
Enterprise, and my Indiana co-hosts, we look forward to
seeing you at this year’s NASACT Annual Conference,
August 13-17 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

State auditors, state comptrollers and state treasurers have been coming together to discuss issues of common interest since 1916. The
first such meeting took place in St. Augustine, Florida. During the next several years, a leadership structure was formalized, and NASACT
was born. Today, NASACT works to provide education and training to its members and to serve as a unified voice for the varied needs of
its constituency groups − the state auditors, state comptrollers and state treasurers.

Dear conference attendee:
CALVIN McKELVOGUE
President of NASACT
Chief Operating Officer, Iowa
State Accounting Enterprise
It is my pleasure to welcome you to NASACT’s 101st
Annual Conference. I am proud to be involved with an
organization that has over a century of tradition to back
up our commitment of improving government financial
management. I am glad that you are here as we work
together to address common areas of concern and celebrate
our successes.
My Program Committee co-chair, Paul Joyce, and all the
committee members have worked hard to ensure that the
technical sessions address the most pressing issues of the
day for NASACT’s members. The conference features an
impressive line-up of general session speakers as well as
21 concurrent sessions to cover a variety of interests and
training needs.
We have several pre-conference meetings as well as some
exciting networking opportunities, so I encourage you to
reconnect with old friends and make new acquaintances
while you are here. We learn best from each other, sharing
our experiences and issues to find solutions that benefit all.
I would like to extend my gratitude to our conference hosts.
Paul Joyce, Suzanne Crouch and Kelly Mitchell, as well as
staff from their offices, have spent many hours ensuring the
success of this conference and offering a warm welcome for
us in Indiana.
While you are in Indy, I hope that you will take some time
to enjoy the city. I also hope that you take away many
valuable lessons to apply in your states.

CS#2. Analytics: Realizing the Vision (Marriott 3-4)
Analytics is fast becoming the rage in IT and management circles. Analytic tools
and techniques can lead to lower costs, improved citizen services, better allocation
of resources, and more. The challenge is the technology is changing just as fast
as we can come up with potential uses for it. The skills to use it, from business
managers to data handlers to data scientists to application developers and more,
are scarce – the supply of skills is not keeping up with the demand. Governments
are not well-positioned in this war for talent. One solution is “analytics as a
service” – rather than hire staff and technology, governments could rent the
technology infrastructure and skills as needed.

CS#3. The “O” Word is now “OK” — ERP Outsourcing Benefits
From Your Peers (Marriott 7-8)
The Outsourcing word has had negative connotations for many years in
government. Most states or state agencies would not consider using a third
party to host and operate their ERP software. However, there is a shift in the
marketplace and outsourcing is becoming more than acceptable – it’s even
preferred. CGI will host a panel discussion with several states to discuss why they
preferred outsourcing their ERP operations and what benefits they derived.

GS#2. Recruit + Retain + Engage = the Formula for a
High-Performing Workforce (Marriott 5)
Field of study: Personnel/HR
There is good news, and there is bad news. Research indicates
that acquiring the high-performing talent necessary to achieve
organizational goals will become increasingly more difficult. In
addition, statistics show that employee engagement remains at
roughly 30%, so keeping such talent is a serious challenge. That’s
the bad news. The good news is that there is a formula for creating
a high-performing workforce – Recruit + Retain + Engage.
By finding the right talent for the right roles, establishing
strategies to keep that talent, and fostering an engaging culture,
organizational leaders can successfully attract and keep a
workforce that is highly engaged. In this presentation, employee
engagement will be defined and practical steps given to help
organizational leaders design strategies for recruiting and retaining
high-performing talent.

Public Service
Field of study: Computer Science
The world we’ve known is changing at exponential speed.
The iPhone has eclipsed the Blackberry, mobile devices are
displacing PCs, the cloud is radically challenging long-held
assumptions about building technology, and the Internet of
Things is redefining connectivity. What we regard as state
of the art today will look quaint tomorrow as exponential
technologies unlock individual, organizational, and societal
potential. Along the way, people get scared, old organizational
models crumble, and legacy cost structures stop penciling out.
Understanding these shifts and how they differ from previous
shifts is imperative.
This session provides a tour of the trends that are reshaping
our communities – demographics, economics, methods
of work, customer expectations and the relevance of
governmental institutions — all annotated with real world
examples. By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of what
Exponential Government will look like, how it will act, and
why your actions today can lead you to a preferred exponential
future and a more perfect union.
