More than Accounting: Understanding MAS 4.0 (Ep. 56)

Description: When you hear "accounting standards," you might think spreadsheets, bookkeeping, and balancing the books. But for Nevada's courts, the Minimum Accounting Standards (MAS) are about much more than accounting. In this episode of I'll Allow It Nevada!, we sit down with Nancy Hernandez Cano, Audit Manager with the Administrative Office of the Courts, to take a closer look at MAS Version 4.0 and what it means for Nevada courts. Nancy explains the purpose of MAS, breaks down internal controls using an everyday example, and discusses how the standards help courts reduce risk, safeguard public funds, and strengthen public trust. Whether you're a judge, court administrator, court staff member, or simply interested in how Nevada's courts operate behind the scenes, this conversation offers a practical look at the systems that help keep court operations secure, accountable, and effective.
