Keep Up-to-Date on Current Issues

The Journal of Government Financial Management provides quarterly in-depth coverage of topics important to the profession. This includes news of current research, impending legislation, methodology innovations and other challenges. The Journal is mailed to members, but you can also access the current and past issues online.

The Government Financial Management TOPICS e-newsletter provides regular coverage of Association activities, both at the national and chapter levels.
