INSTITUTE: County Financial Reporting and Budgeting for Nonfinancial Experts
Overview for decision-makers, elected officials and managers to understand and interpret county financial reports

This course provides the tools for decision-makers, elected officials, senior managers – other than accountants and auditors – who want to have an overview understanding of government financial reporting. Participants discuss budgets, financial statements and the audit, and at the 30,000’ level what each of those is saying (or not saying!).  Participants should bring questions about terms or concepts they have encountered as part of their interaction with county and government financial reporting. The discussion reviews terms and definitions used with government financial reporting and strategies on how to read financial statements and auditor reports to identify critical information.  Participants explore an approach to use with budgets to identify assumptions they include.

Instructor:  Laura Lindal, CPA, is an experienced auditor and an instructor for the California CPA Education Foundation.
