Powers attorneys Dan Brozovic and Katherine Demedis will present at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) Annual Leadership & Legislative Conference & Expo on February 4.

Their presentation, “The Lifecycle of an Audit: A Baseline for Continuous Improvement,” will consider the typical process of a compliance audit or Department of Education program review, how best to respond to any exceptions that may be identified, and ways to effectively deploy necessary changes to policies, procedures and practices if required. This session will reframe how to think about financial aid audits as well as program reviews and will provide tips and tricks to create an “audit-ready” financial aid office.

The Leadership & Legislative Conference focuses on teaching financial aid administrators the management and leadership skills needed to run a financial aid office efficiently and effectively.
