About the Chapter

The AGA Ozarks Chapter is committed to providing timely, relevant professional development for government financial professionals in our region. We host one event each month, including engaging Lunch & Learns, virtual meetings, and our semi-annual in-person seminars held in the spring and fall. Our programs feature knowledgeable speakers and focus on important topics such as GASB updates, fraud prevention, federal grant compliance, emerging technologies like AI, and leadership development. Each event offers valuable CPE opportunities while fostering strong connections within the Ozarks government finance community.

AGA National

Founded in 1950 as the Federal Government Accountants Association, AGA was created to unite government financial professionals and promote ethical practices, accountability, and knowledge sharing. Over time, the organization expanded to include state and local financial managers, rebranding in 1975 as the Association of Government Accountants, and in 2022 simply as AGA to reflect the full spectrum of government accountability work. Today, AGA offers certifications like the CGFM®, continuing education, and programs in areas such as auditing, risk, performance management, and emerging technologies, helping members advance excellence in government finance. With over 90 local chapters and national initiatives, AGA connects, educates, and empowers professionals to strengthen transparency, integrity, and performance across all levels of government.
