CFO Jeff Atwater Appoints Three Key Staff

State CFO Jeff Atwater announced three key appointments on Tuesday. He named Christina Smith, a veteran of the department who has served as assistant director, to head up the Division of Accounting and Auditing. Terry Kester was moved over from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to serve as CIO. Allison Carter, who worked in the Senate and with the Public Service Commission, will be the director of program management.

I am honored that these accomplished professionals have agreed to continue their careers with the Department of Financial Services, said Atwater. Their combined skill sets will help us accomplish our aggressive agenda to reform the states purchasing processes, put the thieves committing fraud behind bars and ensure that our programs are providing value to Florida taxpayers.
