Letter from the President
Publication Date: February 19, 2021
Dear ACUA Colleagues,
I hope you had a restful holiday season and took time to enjoy those closest to you. I had the time to reflect and celebrate our accomplishments and, most of all, our resilience.
With a new year comes the opportunity to set new goals. ACUA is optimistic about 2021, as we plan to build an even stronger community to serve our industry. One way to achieve this is through continued contributions from industry leaders to College and University Auditor. The Journal provided a way for me to connect with individuals on a variety of topics, such as annual audit planning, fraud investigations, audit reporting, and even COVID-19.
I encourage you to reach out to our authors and learn from each other. I also encourage you to share your experiences in a future ACUA journal article. Turning to the Journal to gain valuable insights is just one of many benefits we have as a community. Many thanks to the authors, volunteers, and staff for showcasing their higher education knowledge.
In addition to sharing knowledge in a professional journal, ACUA is dedicated to providing relevant trainings and networking. So, you will not want to miss the opportunity to build on your professional expertise at Audit Interactive! The Professional Education Committee is hard at work, so save the dates—March 21-25, 2021. I hope to see a record number of attendees from our ACUA community.
I look forward to interacting with you on Connect ACUA and seeing everyone at Audit Interactive in March!
Sincerely,
Patti Snopkowki
ACUA President
