Fiscal Anatomy of a State or Local Government Program


State and local government financial managers know that their accounting and financial management systems are unique. But how can the differences be explained to new personnel? Do program managers understand how their activities fit into the big picture? Do auditors of government programs understand the nuances of encumbrances, appropriations and allotments? This course is designed to highlight the differences in accounting and financial management at the state and local level versus the private sector. The course follows a program from its inception—adoption by appropriation—to budget execution, which includes establishing allotments and allocations, processing personnel and payroll, procuring goods, services and capital, and revenue processing. The timeline for the program is approximately 24 months—from budget development through the GAAP reporting requirements—even though the actual activity takes place in one fiscal year.
