GovExec Daily: How CFOs See the Pandemic and Resiliency
Ann Ebberts of the Association of Government Accountants and Grant Thornton's Tony Scardino join the podcast to discuss a survey of government financial officials.
The pandemic shut down government offices nationwide seemingly overnight in the spring of 2020. Agencies had to reorient their way of managing, resiliency and planning in the face of uncertainty that came with the COVID0-19 crisis. Government financial professionals bore the brunt of much of this planning.
Ann Ebberts is the CEO of the Association of Government Accountants and was previously a vice president at Booz Allen Hamilton. Tony Scardino is a Grant Thornton Managing Principal and was previously the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. They joined the show to discuss the joint AGA/Grant Thornton report in the CFO Survey Series, The COVID-19 Challenge: CFO Views on Organizational Resiliency in Pandemic Conditions.
