I am a CPA, and have been for 20 years. My experience as a CPA for the last 15 years has been in government auditing and accounting. I have been with the Office of the State Auditor for the last 10 years so when I go into the Office I won't have to spend the first 3 years of my term trying to understand what the audit does. I am a leader. You need to get "buy in" from staff to be successful. |
