Lawrence F. Alwin, Texas state auditor, accepts the AICPA 2004
Outstanding CPA in Government Award from Costa Triantaphilides, chairman
of the AICPA Government Performance and Accountability Committee at the
Institute’s 21st annual National Governmental Accounting and Auditing
Update Conference in August in Washington, D.C. During Alwin’s tenure,
Texas received 14 consecutive “certificates of achievement for
excellence in financial reporting” from the Governmental Finance
Officers Association, and his office introduced—at no additional
cost—auditing and communication innovations that, in the last four years
alone, have helped them identify more than $1 billion in findings. The
citation recognizes government CPAs who have significantly contributed
to government efficiency and effectiveness and to the growth and
enhancement of the profession.
