Keynote Luncheon Speaker

 

William Joseph "Bill" Bratton  was the chief of police of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). He previously served as the New York City Police Commissioner and Boston Police Commissioner.

On September 11, 2009, he was awarded with the honorary title of Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II.

Bratton is native to Boston, Massachusetts. He attended Boston Technical High School, graduating in 1965. From there, he served in the Military Police Corps of the United States Army during the Vietnam War, returning to Boston in 1970 to start a police career in the Boston Police Department. He quickly rose to the rank of lieutenant, and in 1980, at the age of 32 and ten years after his appointment to the BPD, Bratton was named as the youngest-ever Executive Superintendent of the Boston Police, the department's second highest post. Bratton was Superintendent in Chief of the Boston Police Department from 1991 until 1993, then he became that city's 34th Police Commissioner. He holds the Department's highest award for valor.

In 1994, William Bratton was appointed the 38th Commissioner of the NYPD by Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. He cooperated with Giuliani in putting the broken windows theory into practice. He had success in this position, and introduced the CompStat system of tracking crimes, which proved successful in reducing crime in New York City and is still used to this day. A new tax surcharge enabled the training and deployment of around 5,000 new better-educated police officers, police decision-making was devolved to precinct level, and a backlog of 50,000 unserved warrants was cleared. The CompStat real-time police intelligence computer system was effectively introduced and integrated. Police numbers were further boosted in 1995 when New York's housing and transit police were merged into the New York Police Department.

The experiences of Bratton and New York Deputy Police Commissioner Jack Maple were used as the inspiration of the television series The District.

In October 2002, Bratton was appointed as the LAPD's 54th Chief of Police by the Mayor of Los Angeles, James Hahn. Under Bratton's tenure, crime within the city had dropped for 6 consecutive years. On June 19, 2007, the LA Police Commission reappointed William Bratton to a second five-year term, the first reappointment of an LAPD chief in almost twenty years. In March 2009, Councilman Herb Wesson proposed an amendment  to the City Charter, allowing Bratton to serve a third consecutive term as Police Chief.

On August 5, 2009, Bratton announced that after nearly seven years he would be stepping down as chief of police for the City of Los Angeles, and he continued to serve as chief until October 31, 2009.

 

Your Future’s So Bright, YA Gotta Wear Shades

 presented by Dr. Dan Kneer

The stars have aligned folks, for you to SHINE. The standards (IIA, PCAOB, GAO, COSO and CobiT) all point to the fact that you are incredible resource. (You knew that!) Yes, but we need to FREE YOU from the pedantic to ALLOW YOU TO SOAR.

Dr. Dan is a solution provider…hands on problem solving. In this talk you will integrate you business acumen with management science (think 6 sigma and Operations Research meets Internal Audit).

This talk weaves the promulgated literature into your “freedom”: along the way we’ll visit monitoring, science, integrated auditing and business intelligence. The fact is we need all auditors: operations, SOX, financial, program, fraud and I.T. Perhaps maybe, just maybe, we could connect the dots better?

The current President of the IIA says “while others teach in black & white, Dr. Dan delivers in full color. While others merely tell you what to do: Dr. Dan shows you specifically HOW to do it!”

What’s in it for YOU? How about  stronger findings, less travel, less work, more objectivity, value-added to auditee, critical thinking and MORE FUN IN AUDIT!!!!!

Warning: this isn’t some pie-in-the sky “soft” talk…we’ll be knee-deep in T-codes, forensics, stat sampling, math etc. (I’m in the 2009 COSO.) You will get so many new ideas your head will hurt! GET STOKED!

 

 

The Swiss Army Knife of Auditing…it’s Already on your laptop…and you never use it!!!! presented by Dr. Dan Kneer

chart-21Audit research has proven that Advanced Statistical Analytics is the most efficient and effective audit technique. Advanced analytics allows you to 1) reduce cycle time, 2) increase “quick response” audit time,  AND 3) lessen your travel time (as you “bring the data to you”). Further, as you audit by exception, you will deploy your resources in a more efficient manner.  Finally, Advanced Analytics provides for more robust (and better received) audit findings. Analytics works best with operational data, and thus are highly applicable for ALL AUDITS and you’ll strengthen the Control Environment and Reduce Business Risk!
