Keynote Address: Larry Moore, President, OLA 10:45-11:45 am “The Partnership: An Idea for our Times”

In his address for the LBANS/ NSLA 2005 Conference he will discuss aspects of the developing network of provincial and territorial library associations. The Partnership is a network of the provincial and territorial library associations of Canada but it is unlike any co-operative venture undertaken in the library world. It gives local leadership a way to have national impact with very little growth in scarce human and financial resources. The energy and potential of this grass roots venture is one of the great stories in library leadership in this country.

Workshop #13 LBANS Auditing Roles & Responsibilities 9:00-10:15 am

Presenter: Gloria Banks, CA, Grant Thornton, Yarmouth

• A bookkeeper in a California public library pockets the overdue fines being sent in from the branches. • A library director in Michigan uses library funds to pay his personal debts. • The Director of a Saskatchewan library is accused of diverting $900,000 over a ten year period from the library’s accounts.

These, and a rash of other library employee thefts, have highlighted the need for Boards to re-examine their role as financial overseers. One way to accomplish this is through the establishment of an Audit Committee. Gloria Banks will discuss the need for Boards to look at governance and risk management with a more critical eye and will explain how an Audit Committee can play a crucial role in this process.
