Register online Who Will Benefit Accountants and auditors whose professional responsibilities, either directly or indirectly, involve accounting and financial reporting for enterprise funds and stand-alone business-type activities.
Program
This seminar examines both accounting and financial reporting for enterprise funds and business-type activities. Because such activities generally follow the same standards used in the private sector, the accounting section of the program focuses exclusively on transactions and accounting treatments that are unique to the public sector. The financial reporting portion of the program then examines in detail the format and contents of a comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) of a stand-alone business-type activity.
